Change is good!
Change is good...even - especially - if it feels challenging. While we cannot go back to the heydays of the Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival, we do want to play to our strengths. This year, we will focus on those things we do well - rug hooking, quilting, and other fibre-y things - and leave the wool-related things (yarn, dyeing, spinning) to those folks that excel in that. (See our Atlantic Fibre Festivals page for more information.) The rug show and quilt show - along with their vendors - will continue, and we are open now for proposals for other events. We hope you will continue to come along for the ride!
Please let us know what we are doing right, and what you would like to sse change. Comment below, or send us an email: fibreartsfestival@gmail.com.
