New Threads 2017
New Threads is a reoccurring exhibition highlighting new donations to the Avenir before they are housed in collections storage.
The Spring 2017 installation of New Threads featured 12 new donations to the museum. These included a c. 1900 lace tablecloth from the town of Cantú in Italy, a New Mexico Bowl Sweatshirt, and a Green Jacket and Matching Skirt made by Fort Collins resident Winifred Toliver Johnson (1930-2015) while studying Textiles and Clothing Design at Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College c. 1950.
The Fall 2017 installation of New Threads included a Bhutanese kira, a dress by designer Reem Acra, and a western shirt and kerchief owned by Temple Grandin.
