The Collective Mending Sessions & the SDA

October 13, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm PDT

Learn about The Collective Mending Sessions, founding artist Catherine Reinhart, and the Surface Design Association.

Led by Iowa Artist & Surface Design Association (SDA) Marketing and Outreach Manager Catherine Reinhart, this lecture will discuss the artist’s personal journey with SDA and her socially engaged project which centers on collaboratively mending an tattered quilt. This project took place in various locations from 2018 – 2020, was supported by an grant from the Iowa Arts Council, the National Endowment from the Arts, and included in the 2019 Beyond the Surface Conference programming from the Surface Design Association. The presentation also discusses the upcoming round of Virtual mending sessions which will take place over Zoom, September 2020 – March 2021.

The Collective Mending Sessions offers a space of making, learning, teaching, sharing, and connecting. As individual agency takes place, the student becomes the teacher and the community gains authorship. In turn, the gallery becomes a place of gathering where the art instigates and facilitates connection.

A link to register for this panel will be made available by October 1st.

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
