All are invited to a free reception celebrating artist Heather Kerley's show From Grief to Repair. The exhibit will be on view from April 29-June 27 at Adkins Arboretum.

Of the exhibit, Kerley writes:

"By celebrating life alongside loss, this exhibit taps into the historical healing role that quilts and fiber art have played in material culture and conveys a message about the resilience of the spark of life, if not its distinct manifestations in certain species. In these practices, I am exploring the potential of artistic practice, fiber, slow-stitching, and quiltmaking for process-as-metaphor.

It takes time to make a quilt and time to heal the land and ourselves".

View the show and meet the artist at the reception. Light refreshments will be served.
