The event operates through multiple collaborating partner organizations and includes structured programming such as a kick-off event and a closing network gathering. Participants attend exhibitions, workshops, and presentations focused on fiber art practices across various venues in the Boston metropolitan area. The symposium emphasizes connections between art, activism, and textile techniques. This month-long symposium brings together fiber and textile artists across Greater Boston's institutional and gallery spaces. Gather coordinates programming through partnerships with museums, art centers, and educational organizations throughout the metropolitan area.
