CONTEMPORARY TEXTILE ARTS:
Pushing the Boundaries
lecture by Tara Ritacco

Tara Ritacco will discuss a number of artists and designers who are pushing the boundaries of contemporary fashion, costuming, textiles and fiber arts. She will also share her insights from personal experience designing custom textiles.

Ritacco has worked extensively in the garment industry in southern California including sourcing and developing custom textiles for the Walt Disney Company. As a product developer for sportswear companies, she made conscious decisions about sustainable products. She leads workshops in dyeing and printing textiles and encourages others to participate in learning new techniques and skills. Her wearable  art and art quilts have been exhibited throughout the United States.
