Like so many annual events, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed what the 11th annual Oxford Fiber Arts Festival looks like this year, but it hasn’t changed the enthusiasm of its organizers.
This year’s Fiber Arts Festival, presented by the Yokna International Folk Festival will take place Jan. 15-23 where talented fiber artists will showcase their work.
While there will be no main market or in-person classes this year, there will be several, safe events around town.
“We wanted to continue the festival but knew we would need to come up with a plan in which we could celebrate fiber arts in a different way this year, that would involve the community but would allow them to participate in a safe way,” said festival coordinator Andi Bedsworth.
