Tamworth Regional Gallery founded the Fibre Textile Collection in the 1970s. This exhibition showcases the strengths and diversity of the collection over the last 50 years.

Inspired by the National Gallery of Australia’s national program Know My Name, 50 Plus brings works by women artists in the Tamworth Collection to the fore, as part of the Gallery’s commitment to gender equality, addressing the historical disparity in research, representation, and recognition of women in the arts.

Tamworth Regional Gallery has dedicated itself since the early 1970s to cultivating an Australian textile collection that encompasses all related art and craft forms. This nationally significant collection includes exemplary works that trace the evolution of textile practices pioneered by women over the past five decades.
