The Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum will open three exhibits that will run from April 15 through July 12. Each of these unique exhibits will take a different approach to reimaging textile art forms. 

The Hubbard Gallery will display Korhogo of West Africa Textiles collected by Beth Ann St. George. Korhogo cloth is a West African textile made by hand painting designs on hand woven and hand spun cotton fabric. The paintings are done using a specially fermented mud-based and natural vegetal pigment that darkens over time. Beth Ann St. George is a Folk Artist, who uses Korhogo cloth as central pieces of her modern textile art. She uses these pieces to educate people about the meanings of the symbols of the Korhogo cloth.

Myrtie Cope’s embroidered photographs entitled Nature Embroidered will be on display in Gallery II.

As a quilter and photographer, Myrtie Cope has found ways to incorporate photography into quilting and embroidery. Her embroidery adds texture and interest to landscapes and nature photos and, on some photos, creates an abstract image. In addition to the ongoing exhibit, the public is welcome to meet Cope and learn more about her work on Saturday, April 26, starting at 2 p.m., with brief artist remarks at 2:30 p.m. 

Great Depression Quilts from the permanent collection of the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum will be on display in Gallery III. Each of the quilts on display will provide a different look into the times and lives of people who lived and quilted during the Great Depression. 

Along with these unique exhibits SQTM will offer a variety of community programming and classes. A full list of upcoming classes and programs can be found at sqtmuseum.org/events.

Founded 120 years ago, the American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through education, advocacy and research.

Based on the book "The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John" by Clarence Jordan in which the Gospel is presented in a setting of rural Georgia with a classic American roots music score.

As this Gospel begins, the cast sings “Something’s Brewin’ in Gainesville.” Herod is governor of Georgia when Jesus is born of the Virgin Mary from Gainesville. Jesus grows, and so do his followers, preaching a radical message of love. He is ultimately lynched by the Ku Klux Klan in collusion with then Gov. Pilate and the Believe in the Bible Society, only to rise from the dead. From a mountaintop in Alabama, Jesus empowers his followers on to, “Go out and welcome all people into my Father’s family.”
