10am - 5pm, presentation at 3pm

The UK College of Fine Arts Costume Studio will have a selection of pieces from their collection on display throughout the day, leading up to a presentation by Costume Studio faculty and staff at 3 PM on how they repurpose materials such as previously constructed costumes and purchased or donated clothing and accessories. 

The artworks in Sew What are made of sewn, woven, and quilted materials. Family Day: Sew Cool will give participants the supplies to sew their own artistic creations. Using embroidery hoops, yarn, burlap, and plastic kid-safe sewing needles, participants will create their own stitched characters using either pre-made templates or their own original designs. Kids of all ages are welcome to participate with parent or guardian accompaniment.

Join National Quilt Museum Registrar and Collections Manager Laura Hendrickson for a conversation about contemporary quilting and gain insights into National Quilt Museum exhibitions and programming. 

Based in Paducah, Ky, the National Quilt Museum first opened its doors 30 years ago and serves tens of thousands of patrons every year through on-site and traveling exhibitions of contemporary quilters. 

Join us for a conversation about recycling, heavy metal music, and site-specific installation, with exhibiting artists, Bruce Burris, Elana Herzog, and Ben Venom.  

They each add something unique to the venerable tradition of collage and assemblage. Moderated by director Stuart Horodner.  

This conversation will take place on Zoom.
