Dating back to ancient Egypt, quilting has been used for both necessity and adornment. It has been a rich tradition throughout American history, from the Indigenous tribal communities and early Puritans to the contemporary quilts of today. 

Relevant Material: Contemporary Quilting in North Carolina brings together the textile works of Kimberley Pierce Cartwright, Sydney Lee, and Michelle Wilkie. Though each artist has a unique style, they all represent the continuation of a rich tradition that blurs the lines between art and craft.

Join us for an Artist Reception on Thursday, Feb. 19, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the Block Gallery located inside the Raleigh Municipal Building.
