Led by Julie Hollenbach, and featuring mixed media artist Carla Hemlock and Casey House Quilting Committee member Glenn Bell, this panel discussion sheds light not only on quilts as creative and cathartic outlets for makers, but on their power to build resonating narratives, and the role of cultural institutions in raising these narratives for audiences to engage with.
