The Community Weave Event, held on Saturday, April 23, as part of the Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit Northeastern & Mid-Atlantic, was a fun day. Those who braved the chilly weather were warmed by their hearts, minds and the threads that connected everyone on Jay Street that day. There was a Climate March in conjunction with the Community Event which helped increase participation to approximately 300 people.
The New York State Folklore Society, C.R.E.A.T.E. Community Studios, Jay Street Collective, Hamilton Art Center, Union College, Kira Dominquez Hultgren and members of the Hudson-Mohawk Weavers’ Guild helped guide participants in a community event which was fun for all of us. It was a great day of sharing and collaboration.
