Join us for Stitch-In: A Day of Craftivism—a gathering where quiet crafts meet loud voices. Bring your needles, thread, yarn, and unfinished projects and come together with fellow makers to stitch, knit, embroider, and create in community.

Inspired by a long tradition of craftivism—the use of needlework and handcraft as a form of protest and political expression—this day-long event invites participants of all skill levels to amplify their voices through the meditative power of making. Whether you’re working on your own creation or contributing to our collaborative community quilt, your hands and your perspective are welcome here.

Stitch-In is an auxiliary program to the Museum for Art in Wood’s current exhibitions, BA Harrington: Suite Américaine, Viola Bordon: Muliebrity, and A Room of Their Own: Still-Life Sculpture and the Creative Interior, which are a part of Radical Americana—a series of exhibitions created and organized by The Clay Studio in celebration of the nation’s Semiquincentennial. Presented by an extensive group of Philadelphia arts and cultural institutions, Radical Americana honors how today’s artists carry forward Philadelphia’s rich legacy as a center for creativity and civic engagement.

Come make. Come speak. Come be part of the fabric of this city.
