Cultural CorridorExhibit 2: Woven Hartford: The Craft of Community — A Collaboration with the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center
Woven Hartford: The Craft of Community brings together the artistry of the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center and the visual history preserved in the Hartford History Center’s Graphic Arts Collection. Skilled weavers create textiles inspired by the shapes, colors, and rhythms of 20th-century posters and broadsides - vibrant pieces that once invited Hartford residents to gather, celebrate, and participate in civic life.
Displayed alongside the original broadsides, these contemporary textiles imagine Hartford’s graphic heritage through fiber, color, and texture. The result is a cross-generational conversation about craft, community, and the ways art invites us to come together.

Hartford Public Library’s history spans more than 235 years. We can trace its very beginnings to the Library Company, formally organized in 1774 by a few subscribers to purchase a "collection of useful and religious books". And now, the library is a national leader in redefining the urban public library in the 21st century as an innovative and stimulating place where people can learn and discover, explore their passions, and find a rich array of resources that contribute to a full life.
