Juror Tom Klobe will share an overview of significant fiber arts exhibits he organized over the years, with a focus on the importance of collaborative efforts. Refecting on this work Klobe says, “ The concept of collaborations must become more integral to our planning and our manner of working in the 21st century. We must work to bring individuals, departments, institutions, communities and even countries together. We must see relationships and build bridges. Here is strength in collaborative efforts. Institutions benefit from the collaborative planning, shared costs and publicity that working together generates. Leverage, visibility and impact are attained by joining forces. Collaborations build community confidence that, in turn, often brings increased corporate and government funding for museums and cultural organizations. Above all, working together brings people together. New ideas are generated, new courses are plotted, and new futures are proposed .”
