All are welcome at this weekly fiber arts gathering offering time and space for some fiber fun on Thursdays from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. in the beautiful Cultural Center Gallery space.

Bring your own projects, get advice, or use our supplies to start a new project.  Crochet, knit, weave, sew, stitch, needlepoint, felt–do whatever you like!  Beginners and experienced fiber artists are all welcome. Regular attendees will teach beginners or help you figure out a stitching pattern.  Yarn, needles, hooks, and project bags are provided for free to those who need them!  Sit ‘n’ Stitch is open to all and free to attend.

All About Wood
In the Gallery May 1 – 25, 2024
Reception Saturday, May 25 @ 1-3PM

The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center is pleased to announce its new gallery exhibit: “All About Wood” in the gallery from May 1 – 25, 2024. 

“All About Wood” features art from the whimsical to practical. The wood pieces in this show vary from Dick Skauge’s carved figures, and Patrick Skauge’s wood spoons, to John Boots’ handmade paddles, a birch bark canoe by Ray Boessel, chainsaw sculptures from Scott Davis and Matt Clementson, and a remarkable carved sculpture from artist Paul Albright.

The art is beautifully made using a wide variety of woods and styles. This is a great show to purchase unique, locally-made art or place an order directly with a regional artist for a one-of-a-kind piece for your home.

A reception will be held on Saturday, May 25, 2024, from 1-3 p.m. Many of the artists will be on hand to talk about their work. An artist’s talk will begin at 2:00.
