EXHIBITION OPENING: THREADS OF RESILIENCE

Join us, the artists and members of the Neococo Collective, community members, partners, and friends on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026 from 7:00-9:30 PM for the opening reception and Artist Talk for the multimedia exhibition Threads of Resilience.
Crated by Amrita Thadani, founder of Neoco, Threads of Resilience is an exhibition that brings Neococo Collective’s mission to life through textile art. Featuring works created by immigrant and refugee women in the collective’s workforce development programs, the exhibit highlights how traditional craft can become a pathway to income, stability, and renewed identity. Each piece reflects not only skill and creativity, but the resilience of women navigating new beginnings. Through this exhibition, Neococo Collective invites the community to witness the connection between art and impact where every thread represents dignity, opportunity, and belonging.
Neococo Collective is a women-led, social enterprise creating equitable job opportunities for displaced, refugee, and immigrant women through the art of hand embroidery and handicrafts. Rooted in community, our work connects women’s talents with meaningful, dignified employment, restoring confidence, identity, and belonging through creativity.
Admission is free w/ RSVP.
All ages are welcome.
