Colorful textile installation

EXHIBITIONS

All the creative inspiration you’re looking for

Omaggio ai Fiori d'Artista

Curated by the Association Sul Filo dell'Arte

 

At Abilmente, a new ever-evolving installation is taking shape, designed to grow and expand with each edition, presented by the Sul Filo dell’Arte Association.
 

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for artists. Here, flowers and forms take center stage in tributes to works that move and inspire. With contributions from our members and highly creative artisans, the exhibition will feature 2D and 3D floral artworks crafted with crochet, knitting, weaving, embroidery and mixed textile techniques.

 

Anyone wishing to take part in the spring or autumn exhibitions can bring their contribution directly to Abilmente 2026 in the form of simple flower bouquets, realistic in size and color (main artist: Mother Nature) or tributes to a painting or sculpture by a recognized artist, reinterpreted through textile art.

L'arte che nobilita:  when imperfection becomes beauty

Curated by the Corporazione delle Arti

 

Fabrics destined to be discarded, marked by imperfections rejected by the market. Yet where others see flaws, the Textile Arts see a blank canvas.

 

Using only needle, thread, creativity and passion, they transform every imperfection into exquisite embroidery and every fabric into a garment worthy of the world's most prestigious haute couture runways.

This travelling collection is touring Italy to demonstrate that true beauty is born from skilled hands, patience, and a deep love for the textile arts.
