Join us January 20, 6 pm, for a virtual guided tour of these fabulous quilts, led by the Hickory Museum of Art’s Executive Director, Jon Carfagno. Email us at foothillscarolinaclub@gmail.com for the Zoom link!

Susana Allen Hunter (1912–2005) created hundreds of colorful improvisational quilts throughout her lifetime. From the 1930s to the 1970s she lived in Wilcox County, Alabama, and created brightly-patterned quilts that reflected her life in that rural community as well as her experiences as an African-American woman. The exhibition highlights Hunter’s personal story, creative recycling, improvisation, and visual parallels between her work and Modern art. The exhibit features 34 quilts as well as personal artifacts that belonged to the family.
