open until Sunday April 25

 

The exhibit includes two quilts, designed and made by over 60 students and staff at Charlestown High School with help from TPP student Kate Jellinghaus and quilter Ann Tobey, who also directs the Ubuntu Arts social justice initiative at Wheelock. The quilts will be sold to raise money for a steel drum artist collective in Port au Prince that lost their art studio in the earthquake. The exhibit also includes work by girls in juvenile lockup, through the Boston and New York based program Artistic Noise as well as many other area youth art programs. It represents a powerful coming together of social justice issues and art making.
