Mary Lee Bendolph, Gee’s Bend Quilts and Beyond

[Sandy F.]

I just learned that the Gee's Bend Quilts and Beyond exhibit is at the Knoxville Museum of Art from July 10 through September 21, 2008 and it's free. It says that The Knoxville Museum of Art will be the only Southern venue for this exhibition. This sounds like an Artist Date for me.

Thanks for the information, Sandy. My husband and I are taking a road trip in August from our home in Allentown, PA, down through West Virginia to Nashville. Our return trip will be through Knoxville, and I've put this on this list of things to see.

Here's link to the current Gee's Bend-related exhibits around the country for others to enjoy.

I saw these quilts in San Francisco a couple years ago, and they are mind-blowing. You can't leave this exhibit unchanged.
