The influential weaver and teacher Hal Painter helped shepherd contemporary fiber arts into the larger cultural consciousness through his cross country workshops and his founding of the American Tapestry Alliance. Drawing from influences around the globe, Hal Painter wove clever designs with arresting imagery, creating works that are bold and bound to draw the eye. Painter was a featured artist in the seminal contemporary craft exhibition OBJECTS: USA, an exhibition that debuted at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in 1969 and subsequently traveled the world.
