Go Tell It! Interview with Michael A. Cummings

Congratulations to Michael A. Cummings, who was just named a 2023 NEA Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts. Michael, who was previously featured on The Quilt Show in a field piece, brings his quilts to life with a rich level of artistry and history. In this Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! interview from the Quilt Alliance, you'll be able to see both on display as he talks about his Frida Kahlo quilt.

 

From the Quilt Alliance:

 

"Michael A. Cummings recorded this Go Tell It video about his quilt, "Frida Kahlo" for the "Known and Unknown: Revealing Quilt Stories" exhibition, part of the 2020 Quilters Take a Moment event. This video and exhibition were made possible by a grant from the Coby Foundation."

 

Michael was also featured as part of the Quilt Alliance's Quilters' Save Our Stories (QSOS) program, which we recently featured. Click the button below to hear more about Michael and another of his magnificent quilts.
