About this event

Join volunteer docent and BMAV member Melissa Clark on a guided tour of the Renwick fiber art exhibit "Subversive, Skilled, Sublime: Fiber Art by Women." This exhibition presents an alternative history of twentieth-century American art by showcasing the work of artists such as Emma Amos, Sheila Hicks, and Faith Ringgold, who, stitch by stitch, utilized fiber materials to express their personal stories and create resonant and intricate artworks. An audio program highlights ten compelling backstories that are woven into the exhibition.

Entry is free. RSVP required and group limited to 12 so everyone can easily see and hear. The exhibit covers two floors; elevators and a ramp to the front door are available.
