Woven Together: TOUCH Exhibition

Intertwine Arts
New York, New York
September 1–30, 2026

Join Intertwine Arts for our annual Woven Together community exhibition, a celebration of connection, creativity, and the many stories woven through fiber. This year’s theme, Touch, invites you into a world of fiber that is soft, textured, weighty, smooth, and meant to be experienced through touch.

Touch is a powerful form of communication, connection, and understanding. It is a way we experience the world, share emotions, and build relationships, often beyond the boundaries of spoken language.

For many people, touch is central to how they navigate and interpret their surroundings. People who are blind or visually impaired may experience art through texture, shape, temperature, and material. Many autistic individuals and people with sensory differences experience touch in unique and varied ways—finding comfort, connection, creativity, or even challenges through different textures and sensations. For people with disabilities, touch can be a pathway to independence, expression, accessibility, and belonging.

Through fiber art, touch becomes both the process and the message. The softness of a material, the structure of a weave, the repetition of a stitch, or the presence of a handmade object can invite reflection on how we connect with ourselves and each other.
