Common Street Arts (CSA), in partnership with the Surface Design Association of Maine, has organized a thought-provoking exhibition highlighting the continuing significance of textile mills to Maine communities. Underlying Threads: Interpreting the Textile History of a Mill Town will consist of a rich variety of works that honor, question and interpret Maine’s historic ties to textile manufacturing. Working in diverse, textile-based mediums, 10 artists weave, embroider, crochet, knot and stitch to create intricate quilts, rag rugs, tapestries, as well as fabric-based paintings, collages and sculptures.
