About this Event

Artist Maria De Los Angeles’ textile work Freedom is Not Free? forms part of our 2026 exhibition For Which It Stands… The sculpture, commissioned by the Fairfield University Art Museum for the exhibition, incorporates small textile pieces made by participants in a fall 2025 campus workshop. Participants in this workshop will also have the opportunity to create a miniature flag representing their own heritage, some of which Maria may incorporate into the sculpture so that it “grows” over the length of the exhibition. Supplies will be provided, but the artist encourages participants to bring along materials they might like to upcycle (like old denim, bandanas, etc.).

Space is limited and registration is required. For more information on the exhibition click here. For more information on Maria De Los Angeles, click here.
