Spirit and Place Festival - Driven by Gratitude

Meet the artists and enjoy a fiber art exhibit by INfiber inspired by reflections on gratitude from the staff and clients of Sheltering Wings. Be inspired to manifest more gratitude in your life. Come-and-go style gathering.

INfiber, a fiber arts group with a long history in the Spirit & Place Festival, knew they wanted to collaborate with a community partner whose message they could help amplify during the festival’s GRATITUDE year. When they discovered Sheltering Wings, a domestic violence shelter in Hendricks County, was focusing on their own theme of “driven by gratitude,” they knew they had found a perfect match.

Fiber artists began working with Sheltering Wings to thoughtfully gather ideas on gratitude generated by prompts presented to both staff and clients of the agency. This exhibit transforms their words and emotions into fiber art pieces for attendees to consider. Exhibit attendees are invited to find their own inspiration from these pieces and then create a “mini” art piece that the fiber artists will combine with the Sheltering Wings logo to create a larger artwork that will be donated to Sheltering Wings.
