Upcoming Exhibitions
Fall Exhibition #2 | Intertwined
Opening Reception Saturday, Nov 2, 2024, from 5 – 7 pm
Saturday, November 2nd through Sunday, January 5th
Curated by Jamie Pettit & Jules Buck Jones
The second fall exhibition, Intertwined, showcases a group exhibition of regional artists that use fibers to create striking and thought-provoking works. From intricate weavings and large-scale sculptures to experimental garments and conceptual works, Intertwined invites visitors to explore the rich history and limitless possibilities of fiber art.
Curated by Jamie Pettit, projectART Board member, and Jules Buck Jones, ARTSPACE’s head curator, Intertwined will feature works by artists Barbara Attwell, Heather Carter, Sam Elkins, Michael Anthony Garcia, Nam Joti, Angelica Raquel, Pearly Rihn, Kathy Utts and Jade Walker. In conjunction with the exhibition, ARTSPACE will host artist talks and workshops related to the themes of the work on view.
Jamie Pettit reflects on the significance of fiber art, saying, “I was interested in the conversation about how fibers are everywhere in our lives and history, yet they are often overlooked or deemed in the art world more as a craft instead of fine art. I argue they are both – present in our surroundings, such as our clothing and homes, and as objects of art placed on shelves or hanging on walls. I especially loved finding artists pushing the idea of what fiber art can be, using vibrant colors and playful themes to grab your attention.”
Jules Buck Jones adds, “It’s fun to curate shows around specific materials or processes. In this show, we looked for various artists who use fiber to make their work. This includes felting, variations on weaving, stitching, quilting, and more.”
Intertwined will be open to the public on Saturday, November 2, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, followed by an opening reception from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM that evening. Join us for an evening of art, conversation, and a chance to meet some of the featured artists.

Deadline for Submission: December 15, 2024
Spring Exhibition #2 | The 4th Chair Project
Friday, April 4th through Sunday, May 4th
Curated by Heather Carter & Jules Buck Jones
The second spring exhibition, The 4th Chair Project, showcases a select group of artists invited to create a “chair” or other work that reflects, symbolizes, or conjures a “chair”.
The idea for the exhibition evolved when a functional sculpture we conceptualized, designed, and created with our Practicum student resulted in a predicament. We created 4 chairs for our ARTSPACE patio but ultimately chose to display 3 due to space constraints.
This decision prompted patrons to inquire, “Where’s the 4th chair?” and “Is there a 4th chair?”.
The answer was clear, “Yes, ARTSPACE”.
ARTSPACE is a mixed-use arts education and gallery space, owned and operated by projectART Wimberley, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to “support art education and provide creative opportunities for area students”.
The missing 4th chair is a metaphor highlighting the absence of art in the public schools – an absence we strive to fill with our programming.
