Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium

Rhode Island Threads is a group of seventeen fiber artists living in the Rhode Island area and bound together by a passion for creating fiber art. Textiles are foundational to the creation of their art, often layered with painting, dyeing, photography, and stitching. Group members support, enrich and inspire each other personally and creatively. RI Threads have been getting together since 2018 and derive strength from their diversity of background, experience, style, and art training. Meet the artists at the exhibit opening reception on March 8, 2026, from 2:00-4:00 pm.
