TOMORROW NIGHT! Please join us for the opening reception of “Mending: The Female Narrative through Fiber”. Doors open at 5:00pm

“Mending” celebrates the powerful voices of female fiber artists who use textiles as tools for storytelling. Through mediums that include quilting, embroidery, weaving, sewing, dollmaking, and mixed-media fiber art, these artists explore personal histories, cultural memory, and social issues. Each piece is a narrative stitched with intention - revealing untold stories of identity, resistance, migration, motherhood, and resilience. Drawing from traditional techniques and contemporary practices, these women transform fabric into a canvas for truth-telling, often reclaiming craft as a radical, expressive force. “Mending” invites viewers to witness how a variety of threads, in the hands of women, become lines of dialogue, activism, and connection.
