STITCHED UP - Storytelling in Textiles

For this exhibition, we invite artists to submit works that communicate their stories through textiles. Throughout history, textile art has served as a powerful medium for expressing strength, resistance, fashion, culture, language and identity. What stories do you want to tell? What narratives lie beneath your fabric or clothing? Come, share your stories with us, the old, the new, the reclaimed and reshaped.

Beyond the Ordinary

TAP Collective Exhibition
Each artist offers a distinct visual language and way of seeing, creating a rich dialogue between contrasting experiences, cultures and approaches.
This exhibition  brings together a diverse group of artists whose distinctive voices, perspectives, and practices challenge the format of the familiar and explores the unexpected ways artists transform everyday experiences into something remarkable.

Threads - Human Legacy

For Women’s History Month, Threads: Human Legacy explores the marks we leave through art and storytelling—threads of culture, heritage, journey, spirituality, self, courage, consciousness, diversity, and identity.
What is your human legacy? A footprint of where you have been, a handprint of what you have touched, or an artwork carrying your story forward?
Every life leaves a mark. Every story becomes a thread.
Our legacies are the threads that connect us. Our stories are the footprints we leave behind.

I Got You 

"I Got You" is an art exhibition dedicated to raising awareness of men’s mental health through visual storytelling. It explores the emotions and experiences that can often remain hidden behind expectations of strength, silence, and resilience.
At its heart, "I Got You" is a message of support and understanding — a reminder that asking for help is a strength, expressing emotions is okay, and no one has to carry everything alone.
You don’t have to have the words. You don’t have to face it alone. "I Got You"

Language 

“Our Identity, Our Accent” celebrates the rich diversity of voices around us. It explores how the way we speak can express belonging, heritage, culture, and identity, while reminding us that no accent is better or more correct than another.
