Step into the world of textiles and storytelling at Harlem’s PAINTED THREADS FESTIVAL, a free, family-friendly Maker Day where generations come together through the art of fabric and design.

Engaging in cultural arts isn’t just about creativity, it’s a way to honor heritage, weaving the past into the present with each stitch, pattern, and tapestry. Discover the deep connections between craftsmanship and identity while celebrating the richness of tradition through hands-on experiences.

Join us for a great maker day in Harlem with:

• Community Weaving and Quilting, Surface Design, Bead Making and Fabric Collage
• Children’s Village
• Explore textile artistry guided by artists Sahara Briscoe, Christine Renee, Elan Ferguson, Omi Gray and more.
• I AM a MAKERS – Bring your own project and work independently. Connect with talented artisans and discover handcrafted creations. Portable spinning wheels and looms welcome.
• Live performances by Women of the Calabash
