The 7th 'From Lausanne to Beijing' International Fiber Art Biennale and Symposium will be held from Nov 8 to Dec 15 in Nantong, Jiangsu province.
The exhibition has attracted more than 300 artists from 37 countries and regions with a total of 307 works on display, including 127 pieces from abroad.
The event displays fine art works made using textiles such as fabric, yarn and natural and synthetic fibers.
The exhibition encourages artists to share new trends in the field, and allows them to display their newest creations.
"We need to understand the nature and characteristics of fiber art, and we need innovative activities to turn fibers into works of art," said Lu Shanping, deputy secretary general of the municipal Party committee of Nantong.
The exhibition is being held at the Nantong 1895 Art Zone in Tangzha town.
Tangzha was once the textiles manufacturing base of Nantong. The region's first cotton mill company was established there.
