Meghan Price

Meghan Price is a visual artist and educator whose expansive practice engages the language of woven textiles to investigate material culture and the ways in which it reveals our deep, interconnected relationship with the earth. The artist is known for her digital jacquard weaving, sculpture and textiles using plastics and other post-consumer waste, and research revolving around the history of conservation and more recently the life and work of 19th Century scientific illustrator Orra White Hitchcock. 

Price’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including the Canadian Cultural Centre (Paris), Powerhouse Museum (Sydney), Fiberspace (Stockholm), and the Center for Craft Creativity and Design (Asheville). In 2024, her work represented Canada at the Contextile – Contemporary Textile Art Biennale in Guimarães, Portugal. She has received research and creation grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, and Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, and has participated in residencies across Canada, Europe and Australia, including at the Icelandic Textile Center, the Scottish Sculpture Centre and the Banff Centre. Her work is held in private and corporate collections, including those of RBC, TD Bank, Aimia, and Canada Goose, and in the Canadian contemporary textile collection of the Cambridge Art Galleries. She is represented by United Contemporary (Toronto). 

For over a decade, Price taught in the Textile studios of OCAD University (Toronto) and Sheridan College (Oakville). In 2021, she returned home to Montreal and with support from La Société de développement des entreprises culturelles, established a digital weaving studio equipped with a TC2 jacquard loom. She is now Lecturer in the Fibres and Material Practices programme at Concordia University.
