Everyone loves a good story. Oral traditions have inspired artists since humans first put chisel to cave wall. From Maxfield Parrish’s Pied Piper to Frida Kahlo’s The Wounded Fawn, artists have long drawn from mythos to create striking visual narratives. Folklore explores the universal nature of storytelling through fiber and textile arts, incorporating interpretations of myths, legends, and tall tales from cultures worldwide. The exhibition’s concept draws inspiration from the myth of Arachne, the masterful weaver who dared to challenge the gods, only to be transformed into a spider. Like Arachne, fiber artists today spin yarns—both literally and metaphorically—to explain the world, preserve tradition, and protect against the unknown. From ancient creation myths to modern urban legends, Folklore invites audiences to explore the stories that shape our shared human experience.
