PAST EXHIBITIONS
THE RED DRESS
Needleworkers in Poland working on stitches
January 8 – March 2, 2025 | The Red Dress exhibition was first conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod to generate a dialogue of identity through embroidery, uniting people around the world without borders.
Covered in millions of stitches, the 15-pound, silk Red Dress is weighted as much by the individual stories and collective voices waiting to be heard as by the threads and beads that adorn it.
The Red Dress has been exhibited in various galleries and museums worldwide, including Gallery Maeght in Paris, Art Dubai, Museo Des Arte Popular in Mexico City, the National Library of Kosovo, National Waterfront Museum in Wales, Fashion and Textile Museum, London, an event at the Royal Academy in London, and the Premio Valcellina Textiles award in Maniago, Italy where it won first prize in 2015.
The Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Art Museum would like to thank the
Red Dress sponsors for their generous gifts to the Jenny Walker Memorial Fund,
which helped bring this global event to La Conner:
Jane Clark
Pamela & Michael Fiorini
Carol & Harold Harrington
Marilyn Johnstone
