Sustainability-focused quilts and extra at Windgate Museum of Artwork on Friday

On Friday, a brand new exhibition known as “sustainABILITY” will debut on the Windgate Museum of Artwork, positioned on the Hendrix School campus in Conway. The unfold, organized by the Studio Artwork Quilt Associates, examines questions of environmental sustainability and “our complicated interconnectness with nature” by means of 33 up to date artwork quilts — a few of that are mixed-media and comprise three-dimensional components — by 33 totally different fiber artists.

The quilts interact with these ideas in each content material and kind, on condition that the mindset behind quilt-making is inherently considered one of “accumulation, improvisation, reimagining, recycling, repairing, and remixing,” in line with Tali Weinberg, the exhibition’s curator.
