Conversations with the Artists
Join us for artist talks with three exhibiting artists from SAQA Global Exhibition Primal Forces: Earth. We'll be hearing from Paula Rafferty, Kit Vincent, and Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry about their work.
Primal Forces: Earth is the first in a new, three-part series to premiere at the National Quilt Museum over the next six years. All life on this planet depends on earth. However, the soil beneath our feet that nurtures us can be a destructive force. Seismic activity and mudslides have shaped the landscape for millions of years, taking a toll on living beings as well.
