St. Lawrence County Barn Quilts Exhibit Opening Reception

Description

Join us in celebrating the opening of our next major exhibition, "St. Lawrence County Barn Quilts," exploring the varied and vibrant barn quilts as well as the people, projects, and stories that help make up this growing movement in the county. The exhibition includes dozens of barn quilts from throughout St. Lawrence County; selected materials sharing the stories of the local barn quilt movement and trails; and special projects inspired by that movement, including the Towns of St. Lawrence County Barn Quilt Mural and 4’x4’ Barn-Quilt-Inspired New Works by a range of contemporary and traditional artists.

The exhibition was curated by Camilla Ammirati, TAUNY’s Director of Research and Programs, and Ruth McWilliams, a leader in the barn quilt movement.

The “St. Lawrence County Barn Quilts” exhibit has been made possible by a Regional Economic Development Council Grant through the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
