CLOSING RECEPTION On behalf on the UGA Office of Institutional Diversity and the UGA Alumni Association, UGA alumni and friends are invited to a reception closing the exhibit, Bold Improvisation: 120 Years of African-American Quilts From the Collection of Scott Heffley on Sunday, July 18 from 3 to 5 PM at the Georgia Museum of Art on the University of Georgia campus. Bold Improvisation celebrates the rich tradition of African American quilt making, and presents an opportunity to examine the creativity and craft inherent in these textiles. Bright colors, clashing prints, and a tension between balance and imbalance all lend a sense of exuberance to these quilted works of art. The fabrics used in the quilts in this exhibition range from coarse feed sacks and bank moneybags, to rich velvets and stylish modern printed rayons. The quilts in this exhibition come from the collection of Scott Heffley, conservator of paintings at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. Live music will be provided by UGA alumnae and faculty member, Paige Carmichael '94 accompanied by Faith Carmichael. Come join UGA alumni and friends with food and fellowship while enjoying this exciting exhibit. For more information and to RSVP, contact Shirley Reyes by July 14 at (706) 583-8195 or diverse@uga.edu.
