Project Description
With CAC support, artist William Rhodes will conduct a series of weekly quilting workshops serving African American seniors. The project will result in at least three quilts, each comprising 24 small panels organized around a large center square. The 8” by 12” quilt panels will express the individual participants’ life stories. In May 2019, AAACC will exhibit the seniors’ quilts in its Sergeant Johnson Gallery. Awarded funds will underwrite the artist’s fee and the costs of project supplies.
