Winter/Spring Exhibition Opening & Community Gathering

Join us Saturday, February 1 as we open our Winter/Spring season of exhibitions and invite our community to gather together for the first time following the devastating fires in Los Angeles.

In line with the themes and materials of our new exhibitions — Ramekon O’Arwisters: HOUSE OF, Ahree Lee: Home Maker Space, and Amanda Maciel Antunes: I’ve Got To Tell You Something Now, three solo exhibitions by artists whose works delve with healing and resilience through personal, collective, and historical approaches — this day will kick off a public weaving wall in the museum’s courtyard that will serve as a space for collective healing throughout the run of the shows.

Open to all, we invite participation from anyone affected by loss, displacement, and harm, and hope to provide a place of support through the power of craft. Bring recycled fabric strips or receive them when you arrive, and write out thoughts, sentiments, and wishes about healing, memories, and home to weave into the wall. 

Event Schedule

• 11 AM: Weaving wall intro by the Craft Contemporary Education team
• 3 PM: Remarks & discussion on the healing power of crafts with the artists.

Admission for this opening is pay-what-you-wish, and all contributions will be donated by the museum to the fire relief efforts of Art World Fire Relief LA and CERF+.

RSVP is appreciated.
