Opening Weekend Updates

Brunch and Lecture

AQatS is doubly honored to have Rebecca Stevens, one this year's jurists, serve as lecturer. Ms. Stevens shall present: The Quilt Idea. Here’s a snippet of her bio:

Rebecca Stevens is the Consulting Curator, Contemporary Textiles at The Textile Museum in Washington, D.C. She is the author of numerous articles on contemporary American textiles and serves on the editorial board of The Textile Museum Journal and Textile: The Journal of Cloth and Culture. Her articles have appeared in American Craft, Fiberarts, Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot and TextileForum. She has curated exhibitions of contemporary textiles for The Textile Museum, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, Anchorage, Alaska and the Missoula Museum in conjunction with the University of Montana.

The brunch and lecture will be held in the beautiful and elegant Stotesbury Mansion located at 1923 Walnut Street--just a few steps away from the Philadelphia Art Alliance.

Artists Reception and Opening

We've made a slight adjustment to the schedule for the April 7, 2006 Opening of ArtQuilts at the Sedgwick: On the Square. The reception now begins at 5:30 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m.

Hmm, so we'll have 3 hours to dazzle you instead of 4. No matter, we're up to the task.
