Join us on Saturday, December 13 from 12:00-1:00pm for a museum tour with librarian Rochelle Smith for a quilter’s perspective on select works in “Color Outside the Lines, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation”. The exhibition includes two textile works using quilting and appliqué techniques by artists Faith Ringgold and Christopher Myers. Open discussion among tour participants will be encouraged throughout the tour, facilitated by guest Rochelle Smith and Kristin Becker, Curator of Education & Programs.

She is also a published poet and essayist, and is currently working on a nonfiction book about mythology.
