Memory Quilt Community Project with artist Kristin Beck

Join artist Kristin Beck in honoring and highlighting Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month this June with her Memory Quilt community building project! Participants are invited to share their own memories to incorporate into the quilt. Fabric will be available to hand write memories, or participants may contribute a piece of fabric from a meaningful piece of clothing (ex: a baby’s onesie or grandad’s favorite shirt.)

Your participation in this community project will make this amazing and powerful collaboration possible! The finished quilt will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at the museum for all to admire. Have a story to share? Join us! No skill, no problem!
