"Washed in Ruby Light" Closing Reception
Join artist Paloma Barhaugh-Borda for a closing reception celebrating the spring gallery show, on display through April.
Date:
Friday, April 10, 2026
Time: 3 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Location:
Joseph S. Skalny Welcome Center, Patricia O’Keefe Ross Art Gallery
The exhibition centers on quilting as a material and social practice, exploring themes of healing, care, and community in response to contemporary social fragmentation. It is anchored by Quilt for Healing, Care, and Connection (2025), a handmade quilt conceived as an instrument for building connection and collective care. Drawing from quilting traditions across cultures—including Gee’s Bend quilts and Korean bojagi—the work reflects how textiles function as repositories of narrative, resilience, and cultural memory.
The reception will include artist remarks and refreshments.
