Exhibition at ZEUM; Project Leader: Anna Von Mertens (annavonmertens.com); The project was led by Anna Von Mertens, a contemporary artist who uses the quilt as a media for her own work. She led workshops in the art and craft of quilting for the SFArtsED artist teachers who in turn used newly acquired knowledge to inform collaborative quilt projects in their classes. Many of the quilts made were seen in tandem with the performance by the SFArtsED Players “The Invisible Princess” based on the book of the same name by Faith Ringgold, (www.faithringgold.com) renowned author and quilt artist at ZEUM in Yerba Buena Center.
