Crossing Arts Presents 'Quilt, Not Quilt: The Afterlife'

Description

Crossing Arts presents 'Quilt, Not Quilt: The Afterlife'.

'Quilt, Not Quilt: The Afterlife', is an exhibition of twelve artists who have repurposed tattered quilts into reflective and collaborative new forms including paper, poetry, and broadside prints. The participating artists contemplated connections to the original quilts and their makers, focusing on craftsmanship and labor, scarcity and plenty, and on stories that can be recalled and stories never to be recovered. Responding to questions of social, cultural, and economic history, the resulting exhibition culminates in a multitude of diverse and unexpected transformations in material, story, and form.

Featured Artists include: Patty Wheeler Andrews, Zoë Bird, Katy G. Collier, T.J. Goerlitz, Georgia A. Greeley, Karen C. Kinoshita, Jerry McClelland, Dana LeMoine, Rosa María de la Cueva Peterson, Cathy Ryan, Morgan Grayce Willow, and Sarita Zaleha. 

Opening September 10, this exhibition will be on display in our gallery through October 2. An artist talk will take place on Friday, September 10, from 5:00 - 5:30 pm, followed by an opening reception on the same evening from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. Masks will be required and social distancing is encouraged at all times. 

We would like to thank, Nisswa Tax Service, for being our supporting sponsor for this exhibition. 

This exhibition is funded, in part, by the voters of Minnesota through grants from Five Wings Arts Council and the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
