Based between Chicago and San Francisco, Adrienne Renée Weiss (she/her) is a transdisciplinary artist from California whose practice is rooted in research, ritual, dreams, and community. She holds BA’s in Art History and American Studies from UC Berkeley and an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Weiss taught in Bay Area public schools for years and began her studio education by attending classes at Laney Community College in Oakland. She studied weaving at the Richmond Art Center and the private studio of Tricia Goldberg. Weiss has exhibited in such institutions as the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Evanston Art Center, Arc Gallery, 465 Collective, and Instit für Alles Mögliche, including a solo exhibition at Applied Contemporary Craft Gallery in Oakland, CA. In 2024 she performed in an Ecosexual Walking Ritual in Düsseldorf, Germany with Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens. Weiss currently serves on the Board of the American Tapestry Alliance as the Director of Exhibitions and is an Artist Collective Member at the Jewish Museum of Chicago. She will be in the 2026 cohort of the New Jewish Culture Fellowship.

Weiss’s work exists in a realm of wild Queer mysticism—an earthly, fluid, and sensual investigation of textural intimacy and esoteric lore. She spins yarn, weaves, forges and welds steal, molds clay, makes soundscapes, writes, and performs rituals.
