Innovative Threads: Contemporary Weaving
Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024
2:00pm to 4:00pm

In this national exhibition, artists investigate a variety of approaches to weaving. Works range from traditional to conceptual, where material and methods are both revered and subverted.
Artists address themes of sustainability, mass production, and climate change, while others delve into topics such as queer and trans identity, feminism, and the societal value of labour in textiles. See how this group of artists skillfully employ and challenge our notions of weaving in physical and virtual spaces.
Innovative Threads: Contemporary Weaving will be open from July 6 until October 19, 2024. The reception is free and will take place on Saturday, September 21, from 2 to 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
