The Gather 2025 Artist Advisory Board is thrilled to invite you to our exciting Kick-off Symposium: Common Cause in Fiber Art: Connection and Care. This all-day event will look at the interconnection between fiber art and social issues.

All artists and art enthusiasts are welcome to attend. The day will begin with a casual makers breakfast and continue with panel presentations and small group engagement circles that will provide participants with ample time to connect and reflect on issues important in contemporary fiber art such as:

• How do we tackle structures of value, access, and experience in the art world ?

• How do we support the role of storytelling and healing in fiber arts?

• How do we broaden our tent of inclusion?

Open to the public; $7 general admission ticket
$10 optional breakfast with fellow makers
