One of the most wonderful things about preparing the Hilos Visibles/Visible Threads exhibit has been reading the stories the artists tell about their squares. In some cases though, there is no explanation about what inspired the square but the intention is still clear. We can't wait to bring this exhibit to life and invite everyone to enjoy the hard work of all the participants!

Working intently in front of the St. Helena Historical Society in August. People of all ages used fabric, thread, ink and other media to compose their quilt squares together and express culture and community through art. . . . . . . #hilosvisibles #art #sthelena #community

One of the main themes of the Hilos Visibles exhibit is Ancestry. This square made by Iris in Napa represents remembering ancestors through the celebration of Día de los Muertos in November, with offerings of bread, wine, music, flowers, and candles. . . . . . . #hilosvisibles #art #napavalley #ancestors
