Interlace: Textile Connections in Los Angeles is a survey of contemporary textile practices shaped through the language of connection. Centering artists working across the Los Angeles region, the exhibition highlights how textile processes— weaving, stitching, knotting, felting, basketry, and surface design—function not only as methods of construction, but as structures for relationship, memory, and exchange.

To interlace is to join distinct elements into a shared form. Threads cross, materials bind, and gestures accumulate over time. These same principles resonate across Los Angeles, where diverse cultural lineages, personal histories, and communities of making intersect to produce a vibrant and continually evolving fiber landscape. Here, the city emerges not only as a place, but as a network—held together through acts of touch, labor, and shared knowledge.

This exhibition invites works from our distinct members that explore connection in its many dimensions: between hand and material, tradition and experimentation, individual and collective experience, and the local and the global.
