Needlework, Textile, Fibre Art and Craft Events 2026

To help you navigate the large number of events scheduled this year, we have divided our listings into three categories. This page lists those that are not primarily related to quilting but will be of interest to many quilters.

We recommend that you regularly check the websites of regional art galleries and specialist textile galleries/groups for their exhibition programs, such as:

• Gallery 76 (Concord West, NSW)
• Timeless Textiles (Newcastle NSW)
• Untethered Fibre Artists

Our other ‘Events’ pages are:

• 2025 Quilt Shows and Exhibitions

• Call for entries to competitions, exhibitions and art prizes
