RECEPTION: Friday, November 9 4-6pm

Bingham Gallery and the Surface Design Association were excited to invite students to submit work for the second annual SDA Juried Student Exhibition, Future Tense II. The exhibition celebrates the creative work of student artists, designers, and makers working with or inspired by fiber or textile materials or techniques.

Future Tense II offers a glimpse into the future of contemporary fibers by presenting the very best work being made by students in the field today. The exhibition will also double up with the Midwest Fiber Art Educator Network (MFAEN) conference from November 9-11, 2018 at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. MFAEN includes affiliations with School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Kansas City Art Institute, Arizona State University, Kent State University, and several other institutions located in the Midwest and beyond.
