Threadlines SWANA Stitch Exhibit

October 4-November 1

Our 3rd annual SWANA Stitch Show featuring 23 local and national SWANA needlecraft and textile artists.

Our theme for this year, “Threadlines,” encourages our artists to consider what lineages they are weaving themselves into, and to think about the legacies they’re part of and the ones they will leave behind. In the face of tremendous pressure, we strive to empower our artists to explore how they cope with, memorialize, and resist erasure through their lives and work.

The SWANA Stitch Show “Threadlines” will be available for viewing during all public events at the SWANA Rose Culture + Community Center. Specific Textile Month events, both ticketed and not, offer an opportunity to view the show:

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.
