Studio Vizcaya: Stitch
This event has passed.
Explore the art of textile storytelling at Studio Vizcaya: Stitch on Saturday, July 13 at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. This event marks the end of a six-week workshop series where local artists and community members have created textile art. Attendees can view a collection of arpilleras, vibrant textile artworks of Chilean origin, each telling personal stories of Miami. The evening will feature a fashion installation by Cayla Willie, showcasing Miccosukee-inspired patchwork and a dynamic mega-weaving performance by artist Vanya Allen. Guests can also participate in hands-on textile workshops to create their own art pieces and enjoy light refreshments available for purchase at The Cafe.
Stitch Vizcaya highlights the use of textiles to tell stories. For this program, three artists guided the community in creating textile pieces that convey personal narratives. These final works will be displayed in Vizcaya's gardens on the evening of the event, celebrating the collaboration and creativity of all participants.
