7th edition: TexpoART - International Textile Art Triennial 2026
The event aims, as in its previous editions, to offer artists an opportunity to exhibit their artworks, without the inherent hierarchy implied by any prize award.
The main theme of the TexpoART International Textile Art Triennial is ORDER AND CHAOS and proposes to artists to develop the dynamic, antagonistic relationship of these concepts with the means of textile arts. In art, order is often identified with a clear composition, chromatic harmony and perfect execution, but it can seem banal and boring. By contrast, chaos appears as a disruptor of rules, unsettling, yet expressive and with the potential to open up new opportunities.
At the last edition, the exhibition brought together 96 artists from 22 countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Italy, France, Germany, Great Britain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. This impressive international presence highlights the global visibility and prestige of the event, creating a unique platform for artistic dialogue and cultural exchange. Participating in this edition means joining a vibrant community of creators from around the world, sharing ideas, perspectives, and contemporary artistic expressions in an inspiring and professionally recognized context.
TexpoART 2026 - ORDER AND CHAOS is open to professionals and master students in the field of Textile Arts with artworks of medium size, made in the last 3 years.
Any textile techniques and any materials, traditional or unconventional, with which the artists can configure their own interpretation of the idea of the theme ORDER AND CHAOS in a contemporary formula are accepted.
