Join us on Saturday, Dec. 13, from noon–1 p.m. for a museum tour with librarian Rochelle Smith for a quilter’s perspective on select works in “Color Outside the Lines, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.” The exhibition includes two textile works using quilting and appliqué techniques by artists Faith Ringgold and Christopher Myers. Open discussion among tour participants will be encouraged throughout the tour, facilitated by guest Rochelle Smith and Kristin Becker, Curator of Education & Programs.

She is also a published poet and essayist, and is currently working on a nonfiction book about mythology. An avid quilter, knitter, spinner and mender, she has been doing patchwork since she was twelve and has been a Faith Ringgold fan for over thirty years.
Community Perspective Tours invite individuals from our campus and wider community to speak about their unique interpretation of several works in the current exhibitions, charting connections among art, personal experience, and different disciplines.
