Below the image, white text reads “Please join us for the launch of / Grace Before Dying / a traveling exhibit featuring photographs by Lori Waselchuk and quilts by the Louisiana State Penitentiary Volunteer Quilters.” The back of the flier is black and white with white and black text. A small color image of a folded quilt is in the bottom left corner. On the left is the time and date of the exhibit opening as well as a list of exhibit sponsors and on the right is a quote praising Waselchuk’s photography from Minnesota magazine.
