Catalog Cover for China Exhibit

As if having my quilt selected as part of The Sum of Many Parts: 25 Quiltmakers in 21st-Century America were not enough excitement and honor, I have just received copies of the exhibit catalog, with my "Rise and Shine, Inner City" pictured on the cover. The exhibit opened in September 2012 in Shanghai and will travel to four other museums or galleries in the next few months of 2013.

The exhibit is a program conceived and sponsored by the United States Embassy-Beijing. The exhibition and its tour throughout the People’s Republic of China has been jointly developed and managed by ArtsMidwest and South Arts, with additional assistance from the Great Lakes Quilting Center at Michigan State University.

The exhibition will tour to five venues throughout China, beginning September 7, 2012:

• Shanghai Museum of Textile and Costume at Donghua University in Shanghai
• Yunnan Nationalities Museum in Kunming, Yunnan Province
• Guangxi Museum of Nationalities in Nanning, Guangxi Province
• Venue TBD in Changsha, Hunan Province
