A Survey of Gee's Bend Quilts

with Linda Day Clark: The Gee's Bend Photographs

The isolated community of Gee's Bend, on the banks for the Alabama River, is the home of some of America's most talented quiltmakers, who carry on a tradition that has endured for generations, A Survey of Gee’s Bend Quilts will feature approximately 25 beautiful quilts made by African American women who preserve a community tradition.  Like many American quilters, they transformed a necessity - providing staples for their family - into works of art that are gold and innovative in their design. In conjunction with this special exhibition, the Art Museum will also feature Linda Day Clark: The Gee’s Bend Photographs
