MAIN GALLERY EXHIBITIONS
TAUNY’s historical, culturally significant exhibits in The TAUNY Center present the distinct aspects of the history and traditions of life in the North Country. Research-driven, visually appealing with artifacts and historical content, these displays offer audiences an interactive insight into the region’s geography, artisan practices, and cultural identities.
CURRENT EXHIBIT: Fiberistas Display
The Fiberistas 2025 collection is entitled “Two Sides of The Road” focuses on dual internal images within each fiber arts piece with one side reversed as a juxtaposition or a mirror image of the other. The ‘switch’ creates interesting contrast and gives the viewer a new perspective on how a fabric or other material changes the way an object or scene is viewed. The exhibit runs through April 30th, 2025.
