Additional time info:
This month is a special Creative Conversation in collaboration with guest artists Lauren Karle and Jeni Hanson Gard with their project, “Weaving Dialogues”.
Weaving Dialogues is an ongoing series of conversations that are interconnected by prompts embroidered on a tablecloth. It began in Newark, Ohio with the question ‘Describe an experience that changed you’ embroidered onto 5 tablecloths. Guests had a conversation concerning the topic and added to the prompt - symbolically creating one dialogue between different participants. These prompts are embroidered into the tablecloth as a glimpse into the conversation, leaving viewers to ponder what was said between each line.
