In the Lobby Security Blanket - A Collaborative Women’s Art Project

Exhibit dates Hours/Calendar

Mar 17
Apr 17

Security Blanket is a collaborative women’s art project that stiches together a broad range of issues of concern to women and families. 
Women need access to safe, legal, affordable abortion, but abortion is just a single thread in a larger fabric. To illuminate that fabric, we invited artists and quilters to collaborate on an artwork modeled on a baby quilt. The quilt demonstrates how abortion rights are nestled within a range of needs which a just society would publicly fund, and which would benefit society as a whole. 
Each artist/quilter chose an issue of concern starting with a particular letter of the alphabet and then designed a block illustrating that issue. As a whole, the quilt offers an ABC guide to a more just and equitable society.

Closed April 5
