| Celebrate Art, Community, and Cultural Expression at MOAH FEST |
Lancaster, CA - The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) is pleased to announce the inaugural MOAH Fest, a dynamic celebration of art, community, and cultural expression. Join us on Sunday, June 29, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a day of interactive workshops and a compelling performance, all inspired by the themes explored in MOAH’s current exhibition, m\other.
With a focus on fiber and textile art, m\other challenges dominant narratives surrounding matriarchy and femininity by offering expansive interpretations of what it can mean to “mother.” The exhibition highlights practices rooted in queer, Indigenous, and spiritual perspectives on care, creation, and resilience.
Begin the day with the Mug Rugs Weaving Workshop, led by artist and educator Mica Scallion-Ford. Participants will learn to construct sustainable cardboard looms and create small handwoven textiles. Scallion-Ford’s workshop reflects the nurturing, hands-on labor often associated with caregiving, while promoting sustainability and accessibility in fiber arts, values at the heart of m\other’s inquiry into how we care and create.

This trip wasn’t just about cleaning up — it was about expanding perspectives, learning how service extends beyond borders, and bringing those lessons back home.
