"A Common Thread" Curator & Artists Talk

Get an inside look at how unfinished art can spark new creativity. At this special event, you'll hear directly from curator Char Norman and three featured artists—Deborah Griffing, Catherine Bell Smith, and Linda Leviton—as they discuss "A Common Thread," a traveling exhibition celebrating fiber artist Sue Cavanaugh's life and artistic impact. The conversation explores how fragments from Cavanaugh's incomplete installation piece inspired these artists to create entirely new works. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone curious about the creative process, fiber arts, or how artists draw inspiration from unexpected sources. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply enjoy behind-the-scenes stories about how exhibitions come together, this intimate talk offers genuine insight into the artistic journey. It's the kind of event where you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for both the original artist's vision and the contemporary artists building upon it.
