Quilt National '01

Also on view: The Public Book: Letters to our Great-Great Grandchildren

November 7 – February 9, 2003

Thirty-two quilts from the 12th Quilt National Collection will be on display at the Riffe Gallery November 7, 2002, through February 9, 2003. The works in Quilt National '01 were chosen from 1,411 entries submitted by 670 artists from the United States and abroad. Every work in the exhibition had to fulfill several criteria including mastery of technique, overall design and concept. Quilt National ‘01 is produced and circulated by the Dairy Barn Southeastern Ohio Cultural Arts Center in Athens.

During Quilt National ’01, the Riffe Gallery also will exhibit selections from The Public Book: Letters To Our Great-Great-Grandchildren, a visual and verbal record of the Greater Columbus community in 1992. It was designed to initiate broadly based grassroots involvement in the city's commemoration of the Quincentenary.
