The Werk Gallery in St. Petersburg, Florida, is hosting "Living In Color," a textile and fiber art exhibition organized by the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild. Featuring over 100 local artists, the show opens with a free reception on May 8, 2026, and runs throughout the month at the gallery, which also houses The Object Lab gift shop.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the growing visibility of surface design and fiber arts, a medium often underrepresented in traditional galleries, while reinforcing The Werk Gallery's role as a community hub for local artists and sustainable creative economies. The show offers visitors a chance to purchase works directly from makers, bridging fine art and accessible collecting.
