The Shoals
Each year, Project Threadways hosts an annual symposium exploring the intersections of design, art, making, power, labor, and community. In 2027, we explore Making Legacies. Through presentations, conversations, workshops, meals, and exhibitions, speakers consider both individual legacies and the legacies of a family, community, or place. More details to be announced soon.
