The Cafrtiz Art Center in my old stomping grounds of Silver Spring, Maryland, will be showing "President Obama: A Celebration in Art Quilts" from February 9 to March 5, 2009 with an opening reception on Friday, February 13th. Whip Up has more information and some beautiful pictures.
Closing January 31: The Historical Society of Washington, in my ever-so-slightly-more-far-flung old stomping grounds of D.C., will be showing "Quilts for Obama: An Exhibit Celebrating the Inauguration of Our 44th President." The show was curated by Roland L. Freeman in conjunction with The Historical Society and The Women of Color Quilters Network, the latter having some great pictures of works from the show on their website. Also via Whip Up.

Update! The show in Maryland called President Obama: A Celebration in Art Quilts in now a published book, with the same name. You can purchase the book on Blurb. It shows over 60 of our quilts!
The proceeds will be donated to Montgomery College art students, where the show was hosted by Mary Staley.
Thanks, Diana Bracy
