ABOUT THE NON-JURIED ART

In 2016, SPUTNIK initiated Storylines, the first non-juried segment of the FASA Annual Show. The
purpose was to show the San Antonio general public what fiber art could be. Following the success
of that first show, a request came from a Public Library branch that Storylines pieces be shown
there. A second request resulted in a Medical Center agency project for FASA members to work with
them to help parents create Storylines.

In 2017 the Storylines theme was repeated for a non-juried segment of that years Annual Show. In
2018 the theme was Connectivity and the artworks were 12x12” canvases. Along with that, a thick
book with the theme Diversity of Fiber Art was created and displayed at the Annual Show and later
at the Library. FASA Annual Non-Juried Show artwork has continued to be featured at that Branch
Library in addition to fiber work created for themes initiated by the Library itself.

This year ‘s theme is the “Reflection Ladder, What FASA means to me.” We are successfully
showcasing fiber artwork to the general public by highlighting what FASA artists create.
