I have had the honor of being included in Live Coal Gallery's Aired Out Quilts project which is a contemporary riff on the use of quilts by the Underground Railroad to broadcast messages of safety or danger.  I was interviewed to tell the story of our connection to our neighborhood.  April Anue, a very talented quilt artist, interpreted one of those stories and made it into a beautiful quilt which was displayed on the porch of my studio in November, 2021.  In addition to receiving the quilt, I have also been included in the documentary film about the project.  The film premiers on August 6, 2022 at 6 PM at the Michigan Science Center.  Details are in the image above.

The premier is a fundraiser for the gallery.  Live Coal offers art programming to local communities in the form of its Artsmobile as well as exhibitions at The Red, a gallery space on Clairmont Avenue.

Please join me on the red carpet at the Premier and see some of the quilts made for the project!  Tickets are $30.00/person.  You can buy tickets at the door or pre-order tickets online from the Michigan Science Center:

Thank you Aired Out Quilts team for including me in this wonderful community project!
