Gallery at the Park is located at 89 Lee Blvd. in Richland

Woven fibers become wearable clothing at the hands of Desert Fiber Arts members. The artistic and imaginative pieces of apparel are on display at the Gallery at the Park through January.

Desert Fiber Arts was formed 46 years ago by a group of like-minded artisans who work with weaving, dying, and sewing. The organization puts on a show at the Gallery at the Park every other January. This year’s show will provide inspiration to people who make clothes as well as those who appreciate innovations in design.

In addition to the display, the Gallery has a wide variety of art for sale. The artwork is created by local and regional artists. There is no admission charge.
