Waterville Creates displaying Common Threads exhibition

The image showcases an art installation in a gallery space. Five long vertical fabric banners are hanging from the ceiling, each featuring a mix of words in bold black and green lettering on a cream background. Below the banners, a small round table is surrounded by four white stools. The table is covered with a white tablecloth, and a small wooden box or container is placed on top. On the left and right sides of the room, there are additional art pieces, including some with leaf motifs and various painted texts. The right side features a large canvas with the words "TELL YOUR STORY" in blue letters. The gallery floor is polished concrete, and the walls are white, giving the room a clean, minimalist look.
