The talents of some of Australia's most accomplished textile artists have been brought together for a new exhibition at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre - Tension(s) 2020: Tamworth Textile Triennial.

The Tamworth Textile Triennial showcases the best of textile art from across the country, attracting artist participation from all states in Australia.

The exhibition curated by Vic McEwan opens at the Gallery on Friday 5 March 2021.

"This year's triennial features more than 20 artworks from some of the most exciting artists working in textile across the country, showcasing the changing nature and progress of textile practice from a national perspective," Tweed Regional Gallery Director Susi Muddiman OAM said.
