“Dual Impressions” by Textile & Fibre Artists of Manitoba Initiates 2025-2026 Gallery Exhibit Season
The Steinbach Arts Council is proud to present “Dual Impressions,” an exhibition featuring the Textile & Fibre Artists of Manitoba (TFAM). This exhibition, which marks the start of the 2025-2026 Gallery Exhibit season, aims to create community through arts and culture. The exhibition will run from September 5th to October 10th 2025.
The Textile and Fibre Artists of Manitoba (TFAM), a non-profit fibre arts group established in 2017, comprises 70 members across Manitoba and Canada. TFAM is recognized for its active participation in numerous events and exhibitions, including past shows like “Manitoba Moments.” The organization supports its members through monthly meetings, workshops, and collaborations with groups like the Manitoba Craft Council, cultivating an active fibre and craft community. TFAM’s commitment to community contribution is demonstrated by their donation of funds from member-created postcards and the inclusion of their 2020 COVID Fibre Art Journal Challenge Exhibit in the Manitoba Museum’s permanent collection.
Visitors to the Hall Gallery can expect a fibre arts collection where pieces are arranged in pairs, encouraging exploration of interconnected works and artistic concepts.
Separately, in the Ledingham Studio, the SAC Student Exhibit will display works created during SAC’s visual arts programs. This dedicated space highlights the creativity and skill developed by its students under SAC’s dedicated instructors.
“The artistic talent we have in our region and in our province is something truly special,” says Mallory Stang, our Gallery Exhibit Contact. “Dual Impressions shows off the active art community we have here in Manitoba, and it’s a great way for us to give local creators a place to share their unique work. We’re honored to host TFAM, and I’m sure their pieces will garner a lot of appreciation from the community.”
The artists’ collective statement for “Dual Impressions” reflects the significant impact of art: “Artists interpret the world in different and unique ways, sharing their viewpoint and inspiring reflection.”
While no formal opening ceremony is planned for either exhibit, the public is welcome to experience them at the Steinbach Cultural Arts Centre, located at 304 Second Street. We encourage you to plan your visit by checking our centre’s hours of operation on our website at SteinbachArts.ca. A $2 admission, payable via the donation box, is encouraged to help support future gallery programming.
