Quilting Connections

Quilting Connections

Intergenerational Program for middle and high school students with Arts for the Aging, JCA Heyman Interages Center, JCA Kensington Club and The Phillips Collection

Bridge the musical and visual arts in this three-week intergenerational and multidisciplinary arts workshop series led by Arts for the Aging teaching artists Peter Joshua Burroughs and Carlos César Rodríguez and featuring a field trip to The Phillips Collection.

Inspired by quilts and collages on view at the Phillips Collection, students will partner with older adults in the early stages of memory loss to arrange fabric of different sizes, shapes, and colors into patterns to develop melodic fragments. The patterns, like quilt squares, can be arranged and “sewn” into both musical compositions and visual works of art representing the stories that embody a community quilt. Make music, masterpieces, and friends across generations! SSL hours provided.

Dates:
Tuesday, July 30, 10 AM – 12 PM: Aging awareness training and first workshop
Tuesday, August 6, 9 AM – 2 PM: Second workshop at The Phillips Collection (transportation provided from Kensington Club)
Tuesday, August 13, 11 AM – 12 PM: Third workshop
