Come see and hear about the quilts of Gee’s Bend, created in the 1800’s by a group of women and their ancestors who live or have lived in the isolated African-American hamlet of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. Hailed by the New York Times as “some of the most miraculous works of Modern Art America has produced.”
Lisa will also discuss the changes global fame brought to the Gee’s Bend community, and how the legacy of the original quilters not only lives, but has grown to embrace the younger generation.
The Spencertown Academy Arts Center in collaboration with the Austerlitz Historical Society is hosting this once in a lifetime exhibit.
