Cambridge’s Mobilia Gallery is hosting the exhibit "What to Collect Now," featuring contemporary textile artworks on display through Friday next week. The show includes works by artists such as Joyce J. Scott, a 2016 MacArthur Fellowship recipient, known for her detailed glass beadwork including the piece "Blutz," and Lia Cook, who creates woven cotton pieces from photographic imagery, including "Big Boy with Bear" and "Material Digits," as noted by Cambridge Day.

The exhibit also features works by Susanna Bauer and Eleanor McCain, highlighting a range of contemporary textile practices.

According to mailchi.mp, Mobilia Gallery has focused on contemporary textiles since the 1980s and partners with collectors and museums to support the genre, including placements in institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
