Hooked by Design

December 9, 2021–February 20, 2022

Hooked by Design brought together contemporary fiber artists whose work speaks to the expansive landscape of today’s rug hooking community. Thirteen artists, hailing from as close as Milwaukee to as distant as Toronto, Canada, contributed a stunning array of over forty hooked rugs to this exhibition, the first in the museum’s history to focus solely on rugs.

Artists featured in Hooked by Design included Liz Alpert Fay, Capri Boyle Jones, Lyle Drier, Susan Feller, Sharon Felten, Heather Goodchild, Tracy Jamar, Joyce Krueger, Rachelle LeBlanc, Kris McDermet, Mary McGrath, Mary Tooley Parker, Ann Willey.
