Textile art or fiber art is a particular form of contemporary art which takes form through the use of fibers processed with traditional and contemporary techniques and everything that refers to “textile”. For the purpose of celebrating the always growing participation in the Valcellina Award, and favoring the cultural debate on contemporary fiber art, collateral exhibitions and didactic presentations are planned to be held before and during the seventh edition of the Award.
