Threads of Democracy: NEA Big Read Kickoff Event

Join us as we kick off the BGSU Threads of Democracy project! The event will include remarks from Todd Kleismit, Executive Director of Ohio250, as well as remarks from BG City and BGSU officials. We will showcase events across the entire Threads of Democracy programming throughout 2026-27 and tie in themes from historian Marla Miller's book, Betsy Ross and the Making of America, upon which the entire project is based. This event is free and open to the public. This project was supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
