Seasons of the Smokies is a wearable art exhibit juried by fiber artist Dianne Totten. Fiber artists were challenged to design and create clothing that is both functional and artistic. Any fiber arts technique was permitted to be used.

Vistas Along the Appalachian Trail is a yardage exhibit juried by author and fiber artist Robyn Spady. This exhibit showcases lengths of woven, constructed and/or embellished cloth using any fiber arts technique.

Symphony of the Mountains is a mixed media exhibit juried by author Kathleen Curtis Wilson. Fiber artists were encouraged to explore changes in environment, harmony with nature and the rhythm of natural cycles to celebrate the Smoky Mountains in producing high quality, contemporary works using any fiber material.
