Square
Square is a fiber arts exhibition presented by the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery in Studio 29 of the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia. Running from October 6 through November 8, 2026, the show takes the square as its central theme, exploring geometric form, patterns, and composition across a wide range of fiber-based media. The exhibition’s tagline, “Geometric square, square root,” points to a playful and mathematical approach to the subject, inviting visitors to consider how square shapes and rooted structures appear in textile art.
The exhibition spans both wall-based and wearable work. Featured pieces include framed and wall art, quilting, weaving, silk painting, and works on paper, as well as clothing and accessories such as garments, jackets, tops, scarves, shawls, wraps, hats, headbands, gloves, mittens, and jewelry. Home decor and table linens — including napkins and towels — also appear among the tagged offerings, along with handspun yarn and beadwork. Together, the pieces showcase the breadth of contemporary fiber practice, from traditional craft techniques to expressive wearable art.
