ABOUT US

High Fiber Diet is a group of fiber artists committed to advancing their art professionally. HFD actively searches for exhibit venues, and members have the opportunity to submit work for juried group exhibitions. High Fiber Diet members challenge themselves to become more educated about art and design principles and to improve creatively on an individual basis. The group meets 7 times per year (February, April, May, July, August, October, and November) on the third Tuesday from 1:30pm – 3:30pm. Venues may change and some meetings are held online. Meetings usually include a discussion topic, updates on current and upcoming exhibits, and sharing of members' current work. For more information about the group, check the HFD blog at www.hfd-highfiberdiet.blogspot.com or contact Pam Pilcher at pilcherpam@gmail.com.


The group is affiliated with Columbia FiberArts Guild of Portland, Oregon

The exhibit features 23 fiber wall pieces and two 3D pieces by 17 artists. Due to COVID the jurying format was changed from in person to via digital photograph. Ann Johnston and Sidney Snell did a great job of working digitally to curate a wonderful group of pieces that inspire the theme of Journeys.

The Museum is open regular hours - Wed thru Sunday, 11am - 5pm. However, reservations need to be made before visiting. There's a "Make a Reservation" button/link on the homepage (qfamuseum.org) where visitors can reserve their day and time. The reservations system is in place to help them adhere to state COVID regulations and manage their volunteer needs.

La Conner is a quaint little town with several museums and fun shops. It might make a great winter getaway, masks on, and socially distanced. 

Please contact Jill Hoddick at hoddick@up.edu for further information.

Can You Hear It?

HFD members are gearing up to design their art for the Can You Hear It? show for 2022. Here is the theme. 

Listen…...Can you see that noise?  Show us what you hear. Whether it is clattering silverware, a chirping wren, screeching traffic, or a marching band, interpret those sounds in such a way that the viewer can hear them just by looking.


We invite representational and non-representational interpretations for this exciting show which will be visually tied together by a small piece of fabric that will be provided by the exhibition committee and must appear and be visually identifiable in each piece. Since sound travels by waves we chose the fabric Radio Waves by Marcia Derse.

The complete prospectus is located in the HFD Folder on your shared Google Drive. If you have not received some of the fabric yet, contact Pam Pilcher, pilcherpam@gmail.com   Art work will be turned in for jurying in July, 2021.
