Community Health Services along with other partners are sponsoring an arts movement to create community quilts. The key element in this arts movement is the involvement of community members who are already participating in quilting circles. Once completed these quilts will be displayed along-side both historical and contemporary quilts in conjunction with Hartford Stage’s performance of Gee’s Bend. The story of the women of Gee’s Bend, who quilted their way to economic freedom, already has touched millions of people who witnessed their stunning quilt work through a national exhibition tour, and features in Newsweek, House and Garden and Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine.
