NEW!
Program + Host a Fiber Club* Meeting
We invite you to submit your interest in hosting a meeting. Our goal is to plan out the next year to give the Fiber Club* community an opportunity to snag a date (with a partner/co-host) and take over the programming.
Spread Art Access Info:
Parking is available on the streets surrounding Spread Art at no cost.
Bus stops are located a few blocks away on Rosa Parks and Warren, and on Warren and Trumbull.
Spread Art has been working to be ADA accessible, including recent work to make a bathroom ADA compliant. Main entrances are accessible and do not have steps.
There is a bump between the main entrance and our meeting space. A separate exterior door to the meeting space can be opened and used for direct wheelchair access, as needed.
Your direct donations to Spread Art help with their ADA initiatives.
-
Brief (approx. 10 minute) warm-up activity to loosen up our bodies, get our creative juices flowing, and/or mix things up. Get in touch if you're interested in leading!
-
We'll give Fiber Club* news and updates, then open the floor.
Share your announcements about upcoming shows, workshops, shout-outs - or ask for support from the community.
Announcements will be shared with the Fiber Club* mailing list after the meeting.
-
Sign up in advance to take the floor for about 15 minutes and share your work.
Talk about your process, show your finished art, take questions, ask for feedback or talk your talk. Use the time however you'd most like!
