The 6th Tamworth Textile Triennial will launch in 2026 at Tamworth Regional Gallery before embarking on a two-year tour across Australia.

Curated by artist Blake Griffiths, this prestigious exhibition invites Expressions of Interest from both emerging and established artists looking to showcase their textile-based artworks. 

The 6th Tamworth Textile Triennial builds on the tradition of the Tamworth Fibre Textile exhibitions which first began in 1973. There are few events in Australia that can demonstrate such a strong tradition of promoting and sustaining the unique cultural heritage associated with both the history and technology of textile practice.

The 6th Tamworth Textile Triennial will provide a forum to explore current issues and trends in textile practice in Australia. Tamworth Regional Gallery is committed to building the profile of the exhibition and engaging with a wider audience.

EOI’s will be assessed on this application that includes two written responses, a portfolio of work (provided as images) and an artist CV. Artists are not required to propose a new work until accepted to Stage Two. A panel will be convened in July 2025 to make an initial selection of artists.
