SUMMARY:Mississippi Valley Textile Museum Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Two new exhibitions are coming to the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in May! Attend the vernissage for “Carole Baillargeon: Rock Paper Scissors” and “Tartan: Culture & Cloth” on Saturday\, May 2 at 1pm. Both exhibitions will be on display until July 26\, 2026. \nOver the last 40 years\, Carole Baillargeon has developed a rich hybrid practice in visual arts\, with references to manual trades\, craft and scenography. Curated by José Niaison\, four bodies of work have been brought together in “Carole Baillargeon: Rock Paper Scissors”\, offering an overview of Baillargeon’s artistic considerations and technical approaches. Two series of works\, one in 2D and the other in 3D\, made of handmade paper; a large installation of felted stones and metal objects recalling our ancestral agricultural heritage; and a three-part series of transformed and expressive tools. This exhibition is supported by Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. \nHosted in partnership with Almonte Celtfest and curated by Meaghan Guthrie and Makayla Moore\, “Tartan: Culture & Cloth” invites visitors to explore the history\, heritage\, and unexpected global journey of this iconic cloth. Tartan is more than just a fabric; it is a symbol of kinship\, identity\, and rebellion woven through centuries and across cultures. This timeless textile represents the history and stories of the Celtic peoples and reveals how a simple piece of fabric can embed itself in culture\, art\, and design. This year\, Almonte Celtfest celebrates its 30th anniversary and will take place from July 3 – July 5\, 2026 in Gemmill Park.

SUMMARY:MVTM: A Stitch in Time
DESCRIPTION:A Stitch in Time: The Palestine History Tapestry –\nNew Exhibit Celebrating Palestinian Culture at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum \nAlmonte\, ON-  A new exhibit is coming to the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum on February 14\, 2026. A Stitch in Time: The Palestine History Tapestry\, hosted in partnership with Palestine Museum US\, is a selection of tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) pieces from the Palestine History Tapestry- a collection of over 100 hand-stitched panels by Palestinian women in refugee camps. The tapestry will be on display at the Museum from February 14 to April 19\, 2026. The exhibition opening will take place on Saturday\, February 14 from 1pm – 4pm. \nThe Palestine History Tapestry is an award-winning project that platforms the embroidery skills of Palestinian women to illustrate the history\, culture\, and humanity of the people of Palestine- forming a large-scale timeline\, from Neolithic times to the present. The tapestry panels are largely stitched in the traditional cross-stitch technique of tatreez. Palestinian embroiderers mainly use tatreez to decorate clothing and other items\, often in geometric designs and colours that each have their own meaning. It is a traditional craft passed down from generation to generation\, incorporating stories and memories\, and has become an act of resistance in the face of occupation\, apartheid\, and genocide. \nAlthough some traditional designs have been used in parts of the Palestine History Tapestry\, the Tapestry is a further development of traditional Palestinian embroidery. It is a testament to the creativity and imagination of Palestinian embroiderers\, showcasing the skill required to represent the complicated illustrative imagery of a history tapestry.
