Animal. Vegetable. mineral.
Not to be confused with the BBC quiz show from the 1950’s, Animal. Vegetable. Mineral. is a new art exhibition curated and presented by The Snips exploring the fiber and textile artists’ connection to the natural resources of the earth via human consumption, creation, and destruction. Fiber art would not exist without these resources since humans began domesticating livestock and creating garments. Now, we face a future of destruction because of consumerism and overproduction. This exhibition explores our roots while acknowledging our potential future. Bit broad, innit?

Statement of Values
The Snips welcomes all fiber artists on the gender spectrum
comfortable in femme spaces. We have zero tolerance for
sexism, racism, xenophobia, transphobia, fascism, ageism,
ableism, homophobia, fatphobia, and other forms of hatred
and discrimination. We create inclusive events for our artists
and patrons to feel welcome. We hold all members and
guests to these standards in hopes of representing and
creating positive social change in the Twin Cities and beyond.
