About “A Better World: Heroes working for the greater good”

There are those among us who make personal sacrifices, who forgo comfort and safety while striving to make the world a better place. They are persistent and dogged in their determination to lift, to save, to shed light, to inspire. They are the helpers, the speakers, the ones who act. They soldier on in spite of persecution or personal risk. They seek to help one lone person or the entire planet. They represent the very best of humanity. This exhibit honors these women and men.

“A Better World” is a group exhibition of 40 art quilts designed to inspire and educate viewers about heroes – both anonymous and well known – who have worked to improve our world. Each piece is 30” wide by 50” long. It was curated by artists Lyric Montgomery Kinard (left) and Susan Brubaker Knapp. The creators of the work in “A Better World” are outstanding artists who use a variety of construction and surface design techniques to create complex and beautiful fiber art. The exhibition encourages viewers to appreciate art quilts as expressions of inspiration and activism. We know that communicating through art can help our society work together towards the greater good, towards higher ideals, towards a better world.
