Celebrate the opening of Threaded Currents, a collaborative exhibition presented by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in partnership with The Fabric Workshop and Museum. Featuring works by recent FWM Apprentices who are also PAFA students or alumni, the show highlights large-scale screen prints, sketches, and textile objects that blend traditional fine arts training with experimental materials-based practices.
