Jacqueline McRath, one of Susan’s friends who we met at Susan’s studio, gave us a tour of the Harriet Tubman Gallery and the Theresa Young Show. This show featured a piece from both Rachel O., a peer of ours and a student in the Exhibitions class, and Susan.

The exhibition is in honor of late fiber artist, Theresa-India Young, who wished to preserve the weaving and its history and culture. In its third year, the exhibition is a silent auction where the proceeds go towards the Theresa-India Young Ethnic Weaving Scholarship, established here at Mass Art.

Being the co-founder of the exhibition, Ms. McRath provided us an amazing amount of insight into each piece, every artist and their process.
