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 acclaimed interdisciplinary artist Jay Bolotin for a conversation about his current animated film, based on his 2011-2014 print portfolio of 20 woodcut and relief etchings. 

The Book of Only Enoch is the story of a sensitive Jewish boy from Kentucky and his journey of self-awareness and spiritual clarity. Created using countless drawings and sets made by the artist, the film possesses the magic realism of Bolotin’s 2019 film, The Silence of Professor Tösla, a collaboration with writer Ilan Stavans, that has won prizes at festivals around the world.

This hour-long Zoom session will take participants on a virtual tour of the Art Museum, focusing on artwork that uses boxes, containers, and frames and talking about how artists use these simple shapes to tell stories and prompt us to look closer. Have paper and a writing utensil or other art supplies ready for a drawing activity! Kids of all ages are welcome to participate with parent or guardian permission.
