The UC Davis Design Museum opens its 2026-2027 season with
Connecting Threads: Textile Works by Lynn Setterington which
opens on Sept. 29 and runs through Nov. 20.
Collaboration is at the heart of textile making and this idea is
explored in a display of work by UK based artist Setterington.
Through textiles the artist challenges contemporary issues in
society and how stitch can be used to commemorate people and
communities.
Explore new ways of seeing and understanding
the past, present and future. Works by
graduate students in the Department of Design,
Performance Studies Graduate Group, Art History
Program, and the Maria Manetti Shrem Art Studio Program at
UC Davis are represented in this
multidisciplinary exhibition.
