Plains Art Museum will be a location for textile artist Anne Greenwood’s North Dakota textiles project “Finding People, Pattern and Place.” This collaborative art workshop aims to draw together a narrative using memories awakened by patterned fabric. The project works in two phases, and you can be part of one or both. First, you can contribute a patterned fabric square, 6 x 6”, from any source (new fabric, an old blanket, an old shirt, etc.). Along with the square, attach an information tag that acknowledges the personal connection you have with that fabric. Fabric squares can be dropped off at the Museum.
In the second phase, you, project coordinators and your fellow textile artists will gather at the Museum over the course of three days to stitch together the individual pages of a book using the submitted fabric, combining the thematic elements of the first phase to create a completely new work. No experience is necessary.
