World of Threads Festival
Late in the Season
2016 Exhibition: Backstage
As autumn fades and the chill of approaching winter can be felt in the air, we take refuge in the lingering colour of fall leaves, deep brown earth, and the rare fragments of summer green. This exhibit pays tribute to the richness of a dying season.
