Karylee Doubiago's quilted 'X-rays' will be on display at Gallery 51.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts' Gallery 51 presents "Threaded" beginning Thursday, June 25. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

With tweaks and twists on tradition and use, straddling the fine line of craft and art, "Threaded" features a variety of unconventional objects and spaces made from fabric, yarn and thread.

"There is something innately approachable, touchable and available about textiles: they are made to be pliable and manipulated in order to fit the form of the body or object they conceal or reveal," said Ven Voisey, co-curator of the exhibition. "Reaching for the materials at hand, the artists in 'Threaded' communicate their thoughts on gender, isolation, love, and a desire for human connection."

"Threaded" features the work of local and national artists Timothy Abel, Karylee Doubiago, Michael Gaughan, Olivia Park, Carla Michel, emmett ramstad, Molly Roth, Stephen St. Francis Decky, Ven Voisey, Melissa Wagner, Anna Weber and Angela Zammarelli.

"The works speak about being soft and flexible," said Angela Zammarelli, co-curator. "They are held together by string."

The exhibit will run through July 26.

The opening of "Threaded" is part of the kick-off celebration of DownStreet Art. Thirteen new galleries will open on June 25, local businesses (including bars, restaurants, and cafes) will stay open late and showcase DownStreet Art specials and discounts, and evening performances will be happening.

MCLA Gallery 51, at 51 Main St., is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Information: 413-664-8718.
