Pompano Beach Arts Unveils SMS: Semantic Textiles Exhibition

       Pompano Beach Arts is delighted to present the group exhibition SMS: Semantic Textiles, curated by Lisa Rockford of Rockford Projects. The title incorporates the acronym SMS, standing for “short message service,” originally associated with text messaging. As texts, tweets, and memes have become increasingly prevalent, written language has evolved into more abbreviated and ephemeral forms. This extensive survey spans three galleries and over 6,000 square feet, featuring 70 works by 20 artists. The exhibition highlights the use of text in combination with contemporary fiber arts techniques, such as sewing, quilting, embroidery, knitting, weaving, rug hooking, and basketry. The exhibition at Bailey Contemporary Arts Center (BaCA) will be on view through September 20, 2024. Learn more at www.pompanobeacharts.org. […]
