Plan a gallery visit this week! “Hooking Goes Pop: Contemporary Rug Hooking” by Terri Whetstone and Rose Wilson ends August 29th, 2026.
Gallery hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10am-5pm.
This exhibition brings together two visual artists working with rug hooking, exploring contemporary approaches through technique, materials, and personal narrative as subject matter. Rug hooking, and fibre arts in general, has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, driven by people’s search for activities during the Covid pandemic and also by the development of new tools and novel materials. This exhibition highlights the emergence of new themes and ideas being expressed through rug hooking that go beyond the traditional motifs so often seen in our community. It seeks to encourage individual exploration of the medium as a form of self-expression and narrative (pictorial) story-telling.
