Art Speaks: The Visual Language of Basketry: September 12, 12-1 pm CT (virtual)

Join us for a special Art Speaks conversation on “The Visual Language of Basketry” featuring fiber artists Ann Coddington, Carol Eckert, and Pat Hickman in conversation with art historian Dr. Diana Greenwold (Smithsonian) as they explore trends in contemporary basketry. 

This online conversation coincides with Basketry Now 2025 (July 29 – October 18, 2025), a special exhibition co-presented by Textile Center of Minnesota and the National Basketry Organization (NBO), and juried by Gyöngy Laky. Showcasing 63 contemporary basketry artists working in a variety of materials including foraged and repurposed, and using numerous techniques including twining, weaving, coiling, looping, netting, and interlacing, the work in Basketry Now 2025 explores early traditions of making as well as sculptural forms that push the category of basketry in new directions.
