Second Saturday for Families with Heidi McKenzie

Second Saturdays are made possible through support from the incite Foundation for the Arts

Women’s Work: Weaving Our Stories Together

Children and families are invited to join What We Inherit artist Heidi McKenzie on International Women’s Day to create a community quilt celebrating the transformative work of women. Participants are invited to bring photographs of the female members of their families and communities (digitally or on paper). Using photocopies and prints of these images, participants create square collages celebrating women’s work. Participants can choose to take their artwork home or have it sewn into a community quilt displayed at WAHC.
