“Quite Frankly’’ (weaving with paper), by Dawn Mallozzi, in the group show “Weaving Together,’’ at the Jamestown Arts Center, through March 13.
The show displays the work of artists with disabilities, bringing together four organizations dedicated to supporting disabled artists: Artists' Exchange, Flying Shuttles, Looking Upwards and Outsider Collective. The artists created works of fabric, yarn, paper, branches and more to express creativity and togetherness. There are also outdoor installations, including looms and murals of yarn and twine — to encourage visitors to create artwork as a group.
"We hope that the various pieces woven together bring warmth to all during this dark time" it says on the Jamestown Arts Center’s exhibition page.
Jamestown, an island in Narragansett Bay, is both an affluent summer resort (with many summer people from Philadelphia and New York) and a mostly bucolic suburb/exurb of Providence.
