The exhibition also features three recent quilts by Peggie L. Hartwell, a member of the Women of Color Quilting Network. Six vignettes recall Powers' favorite themes, including the crucifixion of Christ, Moses healing the children, and Jonah and the whale. Described as a consummate storyteller, capable of mesmerizing his audience, William Tyler Sr. is depicted with vivid colors that parallel the richness of his stories. Three important story quilts by Faith Ringgold, the celebrated artist and best-selling author of children's books, are also included. Artist Peggie L. Hartwell will present a gallery talk about story quilts on Sunday, March 11, at 2 p.m. in the Museum.
Admission is free at all times.
The Museum is closed on Mondays.
