This special exhibition features works by 15 artists and the collection of the Historical Society of Carroll County range from the earliest handwoven textiles to contemporary fiber creations.

These beautiful fiber arts pieces invite viewers to see beautiful works of craft as vital historical documents — woven\, stitched\, and passed down through generations. We hope you will join us.”
