The Textile Arts Center’s Artists In Residence Program is a project my wife, Jordana Munk Martin, started a few years ago at Oak Knit Studio, her Brooklyn-based art space. It’s a one-of-a-kind program that incubates emerging textile artists from around the world, showcases their work, and activates local and national communities around DIY creative projects.
There are so many ways this project affects our local Brooklyn community — and beyond. In a world less and less real, the residency program makes art you can touch, you can feel, you can learn from, you will be inspired by. Often, you can wear it, too. This video shows you what I mean…

Why support local arts projects like this one? Because without them life would suck so much.
