Weave In, Weave Out is a fiber art exhibition where the audience and artists come together to create a shared experience of creativity and community. When you step into Weave In, Weave Out, you will be warmly invited to take a seat at the loom. Whether you’re a seasoned weaver or a first-time participant, everyone is welcome to add their stamp of creativity to the ongoing evolution of the exhibition. The featured artworks offer sparks of inspiration, while Intertwine Arts staff will be on hand for guidance and support.
Combining performance, installation, and live social sculpture, Weave In, Weave Out is a major exhibition hosted by Positive Exposure of site-specific fiber work by contemporary disabled artists from Intertwine Arts. The title of the exhibition alludes to the spatial nature of the exhibition, where visitors are encouraged to come and go within the space, or drop in or out, over the two-month duration that the gallery has become a live social sculpture, or a socially engaged art practice. Intertwine Arts is a non-profit organization based in New York which brings free-form weaving to people of all ages with developmental, mental and physical disabilities and chronic illness. The mission of Intertwine Arts is that weaving is for everyone, and that fiber arts should be accessible, which also ascribes to the principles of disability justice. The Disability Justice movement is a social justice movement developed in 2005 by the Disability Justice Collective that included Patty Berne, Stacey Milbern and Leroy Moore. Many of the looms that artists from Intertwine Arts use have been designed with accessible modifications to meet the needs of crip time and the unique capacities that disabled embodiment brings. While the work of Intertwine Arts is not clinically-driven, such as art therapy-based interventions, there is a shared and mutual understanding of the holistic and generative benefits that weaving offers, where it fosters creativity and independence, increases feelings of self-worth and satisfaction, and offers opportunities for unique expressions of memories, lived experiences, and the imagination. The organization facilitates art-weaving workshops with organizations that include AHRC, Visions, HeartShare, IAHD and the YAI Without Walls program.
The exhibition is open for appointment where visitors can engage in learning how to weave at the loom while working alongside Intertwine artists in the gallery space. The exhibition is also accompanied by accessible features, including live-streaming for those who wish to participate in weaving and observing virtually, a dedicated webpage for audiences at home, and performative image descriptions of works as weavings are made in-situ.

Lincoln Center Presents: Jeanine Tesori's Violet In American Sign Language by Deaf Broadway
2026-03-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Alice Tully Hall, 141 Broadway at W 65 St, New York, NY, 10023, United States
Performed in American Sign Language (ASL) by a full Deaf Broadway cast and accompanied by the original Broadway cast album, Jeanine Tesori’s Violet tells the story of a young woman’s quest for beauty amidst the image-obsessed landscape of the 1960s. Facially disfigured in a childhood accident, Violet dreams of a miraculous transformation through the power of faith. Convinced that a televangelist in Oklahoma can heal her, she boards a Greyhound bus and starts the journey of a lifetime. Winner of the Drama Critics’ Circle Award, Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, and nominated for a Tony, Violet features show-stopping anthems, ranging from American roots to folk to gospel, with a score from Tony-winning composer and Lincoln Center Visionary Artist Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by the acclaimed Brian Crawley. Deaf Broadway, synonymous with authentically Deaf musical theater, returns to Lincoln Center after their previous smash productions of RENT and Waitress: The Musical (pictured above). This remarkable company is guided by their overlying mission to provide unprecedented visual access to classic musical works of the American theater for those whose primary and native language is American Sign Language, creating a more equitable shared evening for hearing and Deaf audiences alike.

2026-05-16 14:00 - 15:00 | Alice Tully Hall, 141 Broadway at W 65 St, New York, NY, 10023, United States
Conceived by Monique Martin in collaboration with a range of circus performing artists, Minty Fresh Circus is a US-based circus show performed by an all-Black and Brown cast celebrating the healing power of Black music and movement, infused with the joy and resilience of those who traversed the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Inspired by abolitionist Harriet Araminta Tubman and the survival of generations of African Americans, the central question in Minty Fresh Circus is: what does freedom feel and sound like if your only access to it is through your imagination?
