Art enthusiasts and the culturally curious are in for a treat as the LSU Museum of Art opens its doors for a special event, "Free Access for All Day: All About Quilts," set to take place on Sunday, May 5, from 1pm to 4pm. This unique experience promises to stitch together an afternoon of creativity, history, and community engagement, all at no cost to visitors.

The event will showcase the intricate art of quilting through a live quilting bee demonstration, allowing attendees to witness the skill and teamwork that goes into creating these textile masterpieces. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to get hands-on with a collage quilt craft, designed to inspire and ignite their own artistic abilities.

But the threads of this event are woven with more than just fabric. Folklore storytelling sessions will be held in the galleries, bringing to life the tales and traditions that are as much a part of quilt history as the patterns and patches themselves.

The "All About Quilts" event is made possible through the generous support of the Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program, which aims to increase public access to the arts. It's a perfect outing for families, art lovers, and anyone interested in the rich cultural tapestry of quilting.

Be sure to mark your calendars and head over to the LSU Museum of Art, located at 100 Lafayette St, Baton Rouge, LA, for an afternoon steeped in tradition and creativity. Don't miss out on the chance to immerse yourself in the world of quilts and the stories they tell.
