Artist-in-Residence

The exploration of art is essential in the development of each individual.  It is also critical in our contribution to the growth of society.  We who pursue this expression through artisan skills and the fiber arts seek to have our work enrich the daily lives of all who are part of the process. 

From the first washcloth by a weaver to the hundredth drop spindle a woodworker has turned, from the first draft of a spinner to the billionth stitch of a knitter, we experience our art through touch.  Not only when we make it but by those we share it with. When we each create, we all benefit. 

The program was initiated in 2024, and through our Artist-in-Residence program we seek to help the budding artist explore a new skill or honor an artist whose mastery of a craft is to be revered. 

We applaud the dedication of all fiber artists in helping keep historical skills relevant in our modern society.  May the exploration of these skills bring us closer together and enrich all our lives.

2026 Artist-in-Residence

The 2026 Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival is the 20th anniversary of the fiber festival happening at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Franklin. Our 2026 Artist-in-Residence has been awarded to the vendors who have been with the festival those 20 years!

There will be an Artist-in-Residence Talk at 4 P.M. on Friday in the Lecture Hall.

We appreciate how much they have enriched the amazing world of fiber arts in Indiana that we are all privileged to share. Be sure to congratulate them on their award and the dedication to their businesses!
