Note: We're 64 people at the moment, which is an all-time high for this group on the eve of an event. This could be rather unwieldy if everyone shows up, which has never happened since our first mural walk in August of 2024. Be that as it may, if you find yourself unable to make it, please change your RSVP if at all possible. Thanks!

In the chilly days of January, let's keep warm inside the Fabric Museum (technically the Fabric Workshop and Museum), followed by a place where we can get hot tea and dumplings (among other things)! One possibility, Tom's Dim Sum, is just a three-minute walk away.

Here, from the museum's website, is what's currently on display:

"Step inside The Living Temple—a vibrant retrospective celebrating the boundary‑breaking Swedish artist Moki Cherry (1943–2009), whose life was her canvas. From colorful textiles, costumes, and posters to ceramics, video, and sound, Moki’s work dissolves the line between home and stage, art and everyday life."

"Working across painting, textiles, and musical performance, Lisa Alvarado [in Talismans for a Theater of Resilience] explores liminality—or in-betweenness—as a generative space where rhythm, movement, and history intertwine. Guided by what she calls 'vibrational aesthetics,' the artist draws from bodily pulses and earthly cycles alike, creating multi-sensory works rich with visual and sonic resonance."
