Fiber Arts & Modernism: My Visit to Woven Histories at the National Gallery of Art

I just had to share a little piece of my recent trip to DC. It was my first time in ages—like, pre-kids ages—getting lost in museums, and wow, did I make the most of it. My husband had work there, and I turned it into a five-day art marathon.

The highlight for me? Hands down, exploring Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction at the National Gallery of Art. If you know me, you know I’m a fiber arts geek at heart. Seeing textiles not just as “craft” but as a backbone of modern art? Yes, please!
