Connecting Threads

September 1 – January 31, 2017
Stephanie Tubbs Jones Art Gallery
Lower Terminal Adjacent to RTA

For centuries, generations from all cultures have enjoyed quilts for many different reasons. Quilts provide clues to the past, warmth, beauty, value and cultural heritage. Through the years, they became documents of history. Quilters often made abstract representations of their physical environment that inspired patterns to provide insight into one’s heritage. 

Once thought to be “women’s work,” today quilting is an art form that is enjoyed by all nationalities and genders. Quilting provides quilters the joy of working with color, texture and patterns. Connecting Threads is an exhibition of quilts and dolls that explores themes of joy, spirituality, peace, brotherhood, inspiration, ethnic culture and/or healing.
