Textile Cartograpy: An International Exhibition

December 2024 - January 2025

The word map is derived from the Latin “mappa”, which means piece of fabric or cloth. To realize climate justice, men and women’s voices must be heard. Textile cartography is a way to tell stories, express ideas; draw attention; talk about eARTh with maps reinvented with fabrics and threads. The creators of textile maps observe the places, inquire about their history, and search for signs, meanings, and alternatives. And they represent the stories using fabrics, threads, ropes, wool, and more with sewing or weaving techniques.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program

March 24- April 24

This exhibition is coordinated by Central’s Art Teachers in Springfield Public Schools. In this exhibition, images are created by students to demonstrate their artistic, creative, and intuitive art-making processes. These processes are inherent to the investigative and exploratory nature of art making, which is particularly important in the International Baccalaureate Programme. The works show a personal approach to art-making for each of the students and are the culminating event in their two years of artistic study. This exhibition is open and free to the public.

Students of Students

April – May

This exhibition comes after student teaching where pre-service art teachers exhibit images made by their students during the semester of student teaching. The exhibition is designed to allow the pre-service teacher maximum freedom of choice of which student images to include. In conjunction with their students, the pre-service teacher is expected to exhibit their artwork that demonstrates their highest achievement in studio practices. The community and students, parents, teachers, and administrators from the school are invited. This exhibition is open and free to the public.
