The Bridges Project

The events of the world increasingly push us to find our differences rather than our humanity and common purpose. Willamette Tapestry Artists chose to weave Willamette River bridges, structures that link neighborhoods, commerce, and cultures. These bridge tapestries emphasize the beauty in strong structures that link old and new and provide safe passage from one side of water to the other. They showcase the texture and color of fiber art, reflecting images of this corner of the world.

The Willamette Tapestry Artists seek to promote understanding and appreciation of the art and craft of contemporary tapestry. Fifteen members increase their skills through practice, education, and respectful use of critique and feedback. Members collaborate to exhibit their handwoven tapestries in the community and beyond.
