THIS MONTH ONLY: Join fiber artist Riley Kleve for a community stitching project emerging from their recent research into histories of collaborative craft. Using simple embroidery to layer stitches and cloth, explore strategies towards making in connection with others in your community.

Riley Kleve is a fiscal year 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
