Some of you may recall that in 2018 the Allthreads community was invited and took part in the creating of an embroidery panel that is now one of the 87 panels in The Red Dress - a project conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod, and which unites embroiderers from 51 countries.
Plans are afoot to bring The Red Dress to Australia in 2026 for exclusive display at the Museum of Brisbane and the Warwick Art Gallery and for Kirstie to host some public events.
To make this happen, we need your help. We need to raise funds to bring Kirstie and the Red Dress to Queensland. All donations no matter the size, will add up and enable us to achieve our goal.
To make a donation there are 3 options.
- A Go Fund Me page has been set up to raise the funds. If you would like to donate through this page, here is the link - Donate Now
- Alternatively you can donate through our website by clicking HERE and selecting the amount you would like to give.
- A donation can be made directly to the bank account in the name of Red Dress Australia BSB 067873 Account 21095145
Donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.
It is exciting to think that the embroidery community in Australia may soon have the opportunity to see the Red Dress on display!
From little things big things grow! This was the case with our contribution to The Red Dress and hopefully will be for donations to ensure it comes to Australia! Every little bit of your generosity will help!
Thank you,
Kerryn
