The Gallery Upstairs at The Institute Library

A craftivism knit-in to work on Melt-The-Ice Hats offered by The Gallery Upstairs at The Institute Library. Free and open to the public, but donations are happily accepted and will go toward the gallery and future events. We will have snacks, warm drinks and offer a cozy environment to gather, chat and knit. *Please note: This is not a class, and we will not be selling supplies. Please come prepared with Yarn, pattern, knitting needles and other supplies. For more details, please visit our website or send a query to gallery@InstituteLibrary.org or eva@InstituteLibrary.org

Spend an evening enjoying thoughtful calm at one of our tables: create your own message of love. To send to anyone. Everyone needs to be appreciated, plain and simple — or elaborate and baroque! The curators of The Gallery Upstairs, Martha Willette Lewis and Maxim Schmidt, invite you to sit down and create a special message. Supplies (paper, envelopes, stamps) provided, but feel free to bring your own. Show the postal service some love, make someone smile, return a kindness with a handmade note, share your appreciation & affection.
