About this Event:
Join former gallery owners and public art curators John Post Lee and Karin Bravin for a guided tour of their latest exhibit, Golden Thread 2: A Fiber Art Exhibition at 207 Front Street. As you explore dozens of works, you will also learn about the history of the venue, a historic warehouse at the South Street Seaport that features an old grain hoist, peaked roof, rugged floor joists, original brick facades, and stone window trims.
Learn about BravinLee's experience with fiber art, beginning with their artist rug program. Bravin and Lee have been working with some of the most well-respected, sought-after international artists to design rugs. The rugs are hand-knotted in either wool, silk, or hemp in Nepal.
