On the Threshold
An art installation by Marie-Soleil Provençal

Join us at The Craig Gallery this Thursday, August 27 from 5PM–7PM for the opening reception of On the Threshold.

📍 The Craig Gallery, Alderney Landing
Everyone is welcome.

On the Threshold features EMERGENCY QUILTS, a series of thermal blankets inspired by traditional quilting and the history of quilts created for Canadian Red Cross relief efforts during the Second World War.

By combining the visual language of quilting with materials associated with emergency response, the exhibition explores ideas of collective care, mutual aid, protection, displacement and resilience.

This Nova Scotia edition is presented in collaboration with the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild and the Mayflower Quilters Guild.
