The Fine Art Textiles Award

The Fine Art Textiles Award (FATA) returns for its fifth year in 2023.

FATA is an international juried exhibition open to all amateur and practising artists using textiles as their medium, and offering a prize of £5,000 for the winning piece.

The Fine Art Textiles Award recognises the creative talents and skills of a broad community of high-calibre artists (including quilters) and celebrates textiles’ rightful place amongst high art.   

The winner is announced annually at our partner show, The Festival of Quilts, and we were delighted be bring both the winning work and the shortlisted entries to this year’s Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace and Harrogate Convention Centre.

This is your opportunity to see first-hand work from some of the world’s leading textile artists and those that are truly pushing the boundaries of the medium.
