Join us for an hour-long guided tour of Sewing in Kingston, our wildly popular new exhibit, as we explore the stories and honor the contributions of Kingston women within our city’s sewing industries. Whether as factory workers or artisans, organizers or entrepreneurs, women have been the backbone of sewing work within Kingston. In this guided tour, you’ll learn about women’s impact on the city’s garment industry, hear about artists and expert seamstresses, and discover the diversity of cultural sewing traditions practiced and shared by Kingston women.
