Textural Rhythms: Constructing the Jazz Tradition, Contemporary African American Quilts, curated by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, founder and coordinator of The Women of Color Quilters Network unites two of the most well known and popular artistic forms in African American culture, jazz and quilts. The exhibition of 64 quilts includes work from some of America’s best known African American quilters, Michael Cummings, Ed Johnetta Fowler-Miller, Tina Brewer, and Jim Smoote as well as quilts by top Bay Area quilters, Marion Coleman and Alice M. Beasley. Join us for an evening of wine and hors d’oeuvres with music provided by the Berkeley Jazzschool.
