Gypsy Hollingsworth Fiber Arts

Stokes County Arts Council, in partnership with Stokes County Historical Society invites you to join us in celebration as we launch the Gypsy Hollingsworth Fiber Arts Program.

A reception, free to the public, will take place March 2nd from 2pm-4pm at the Arts Place of Stokes. The Stokes County Museum of History will be open from 1:30pm - 5:00pm on the day of the event. Stop in to see Gypsy's loom and a selection of her handwoven pieces.

We are gathering memories to share at our upcoming event and to archive for future generations. Please share with us by filling out the Memory Form below. If you have any art pieces that we could display or photographs that we could copy, please let us know. These would be most welcome.

Coinciding with the program unveiling will be the awarding of the Gypsy Hollingsworth Fiber Arts Grant to regional fiber artist, Janeise Harmon.
