Tactile Worlds

October 6-November 30

A colorful exhibition of tactile fiber art.

“Tactile Worlds” emerges from a realm of circular formats and tufted textures, forming a bridge between the tangible and the fantastical. The heartbeat of this exhibition resonates with a message of wonder and happiness. “Tactile Worlds” seeks to rekindle the childlike curiosity that resides within us all, inviting you to touch, to marvel, and to experience art in its most visceral form. The softness of the tufted textures mirrors the gentle embrace of a daydream, while the vibrant colors and whimsical designs kindle the flames of imagination. As you stand before these creations, you’re not just an observer; you’re an explorer, a seeker of hidden treasures in a realm where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary.

See Felicia in person and enjoy food and drinks during our opening event on October 6th from 6-8 pm.

If you are unable to attend the opening event, you can stop by OneRiver during their business hours to see the art through the end of November.

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
