Crafty Nights at CJM

Crafty Nights at CJM is an adult social craft program held at the Capital Jewish Museum. In honor of two milestones—the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 150th anniversary of the museum’s historic synagogue—the evening will feature a special display of the 1976 Bicentennial Tapestry, a 10-by-14-foot needlework piece designed and worked by the Jewish Bicentennial Commission of Greater Washington. The tapestry visually stitches together themes of patriotism, Jewish life, and American opportunity. Attendees are invited to bring their own craft project (such as knitting, drawing supplies, embroidery, or any other portable handcraft) and connect with fellow crafty individuals in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. For those without a personal project, the museum will provide a collage station where guests can create anything they like.
