Join the Cross Stitch and Embroidery Club for an immersive stitching session right in the heart of the galleries. Explore the 220-foot hand-embroidered narrative of the exhibition The Black Gold Tapestry as you witness the meticulous process behind the medium.

Visitors are invited to contribute and leave their mark on this collaborative community embroidery project led by the club’s executive board. All skill levels are welcome, no experience is required, and all supplies are provided. Come add your stitches to the story!
