Aundrea Matthews, a CERCL Research assistant and Rice Department of Religion graduate student organized this series of exhibits as a part of her dissertation to introduce visitors to a collection of powerful works of art that illuminate and touch on many levels, including the spiritual. CERCL in partnership with Community Artists' Collective continue these exhibits bi-annually to illustrate a broad range of artistic techniques and inspirations, shed light on the lives and experiences of quiltmakers, and examine the role quiltmakers have played in the arenas of education, politics, religion, the arts, business, the family and much more.
