Happiness: Quilted Expressions

May 5- July 10, 2011

The Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery will present a selection of quilts from Happiness: Quilted Expressions from May 5- July 10, 2011. Organized by the Quilt Surface Design Symposium Foundation, the 36 artists’ works of happiness have been expressed in the quilt medium in various forms. Some have shared their joy by re-creating a scene, capturing a moment in time with a snapshot of a delicious instant in their memory. Others have found their contentment and peace in the actual process of creating their art: the stitching, the sewing, the literal act of translating their viewpoints or feelings into a quilt, be it a political statement, a moment of humor, or a delight in space.
