The Harlow presents Tactile, a juried art exhibition on view September 7-29, 2018 at 100 Water Street in Hallowell. Spanning both floors of the gallery, Tactile pays homage to the decorative, domestic and utilitarian roots of textile art, while emphasizing the application of textile techniques for the purpose of communication and expression.

Betsy Cook and Sally Wagley proposed, curated and, together with Harlow staff, juried the show which features work by 26 artists. The exhibition represents a wide range of techniques including stitching, weaving, felting, and more.
