Parking is limited. Free shuttle pickup begins at 4:45 p.m. on Center St. between the Square and the Fire Station.

Threads of Identity explores a multifaceted artistic approach to sharing cultural, emotional, and intellectual stories we carry collectively and individually. Invariably, this is reflected in how we clad and decorate ourselves, and what forms, designs, and spaces feed our emotions and say who we are.

Art and art-making allow us to communicate the depth of our identities as culture, gender, religion, and more through clothing, make-up, jewelry, what we like to see and touch, and where we want to be. Here, culture and the self are expressed in a tapestry of fashion, ceramics, textile, jewelry, paper, painting, and other mediums.

This exhibition features art by Japheth Asiedu-Kwarteng, Cheri Bohn, Rani Bondhus, Shelby Fleming, Adam Fulwiler, Cheryl Kellar, Mack Leal, Connie Lim, Leslie Perryman, Gala Reneaum Tello, Denise Sagan, Kathleen Schwarz, and performance artist Kaye Jolie Onuris.
