SUMMARY:Quilting Bee Demo with Peace by Piece: The Norwalk Community Quilt Project
DESCRIPTION:See a live quilting demonstration with members of a local group\, and contribute to our community quilting project.\n\n\nOn Saturday\, December 6\, from 2-4 p.m.\, members of Peace by Piece: The Norwalk Community Quilt Project will host a live quilting bee demo in the Walsh Gallery\, inspired by the quilts on view in the exhibition Stitching Time. Participants will also be invited to contribute squares to our community quilting project (supplies provided).\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition: Stitching Time features 12 quilts created by men who are incarcerated in the Louisiana State Penitentiary\, also known as Angola Prison. These works of art\, and accompanying recorded interviews\, tell the story of a unique inside-outside quilt collaboration. The exhibition focuses our attention on the quilt creators\, people often forgotten by society when discussing the history of the U.S. criminal justice system. Also on view in the gallery will be Give Me Life\, a selection of works from women artists presently or formerly incarcerated at York Correctional Institution\, a maximum security state prison in Niantic\, CT\, courtesy of Community Partners in Action (CPA). The CPA’s Prison Arts program was initiated in 1978 and is one of the longest-running projects of its kind in the United States. Founded in 1875\, CPA is celebrating 150 years of working within the criminal justice system.
