Founded in 2000, Brown Sugar Stitchers Quilt Guild (BSSQG) is a diverse group of 142 quilters from metro-Atlanta and thirteen other states.
"Our purpose is to foster the art and history of quilting, focusing on African American traditions. We are active in the community, with regular donations of handmade quilts for children in foster care (Carrie Steele-Pitts Home) and those suffering from Sickle Cell Anemia (Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta—Hughes Spalding Hospital). We have provided quilted purses to young people in Zambia for menstrual supplies and tribute quilts for families of local victims of violence. We offer educational outreach to all ages through programs and quilting lessons led by our talented members. We aim to preserve the art, craft, and rich history of African American quilting."
Don't miss this exhibit of ECQG members' work inspired by our the teachers we have hosted over the last five years. It's better than Show & Tell! Each quilt uses the important lessons we learned in a different way; each quiltmaker has taken an idea and interpreted it differently.
Mable House Arts Center is excited to host the Hooty Hoo! Juried Print Exhibition featuring talented printmakers from the Kennesaw State University School of Art and Design. This exhibition will be on display from February 27th through April 4th, showcasing an incredible variety of printmaking styles and techniques.
The exhibition offers a stunning selection of prints, including vibrant screenprints, intricate intaglio works, bold letterpress prints, and radical relief prints. As part of this juried exhibition, four of the most outstanding prints will receive awards from a prize fund, totaling $600. We are proud to support these young artists and offer them the opportunity to have their work recognized by a wider audience. The majority of works will also be available for sale, providing an excellent chance to acquire unique, handmade pieces while supporting the artists directly.
We invite the community to join us for the opening reception on Thursday, February 27th, to meet the artists, view their work, and celebrate the talent and hard work of Kennesaw State’s student printmakers. The exhibition promises to be a vibrant and diverse showcase of the next generation of artists, and we hope to see you there!
A Fine Arts Limited Edition Book Publication Project
Exhibition Dates: August 7, 2025, to September 19, 2025
“The goal of this project is to create a first edition set of hand printed illustrations printed from the original woodcuts of a series of filmstrips produced for Encyclopeadia Britannica in the early 1960’s. Over 180 blocks were used to create the six “Classics of English Literature,” including “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” “Morte d’Arthur,” “The Nun’s Priest Tale,” “Beowulf,” “The Second Shepherd’s Play,” and “Everyman.” The text that accompanied the original slides was often one or two simple sentences given the limitations of the technology of the time. Our efforts includes selecting excerpts from the original translations that can convey the power, sentiment and poetry of these classics. Following the example of Bronislaw and Hedi Bak’s hand published limited editions of similar work in their lifetime, we intend to use Old English fonts and the conventions of medieval printing to lend support to the artist’s vision in the work.
This year’s Roll the Dice exhibition invites you to journey through a world where imagination reigns supreme and epic adventures unfold. Featuring works from a diverse range of artists, this show draws inspiration from the rich landscapes and characters of fantasy realms. Each piece transports viewers to a realm of mystical creatures, ancient ruins, and heroic quests. From detailed illustrations to handcrafted dice, this exhibition showcases the limitless creativity and storytelling that defines the fantasy genre. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a newcomer to these magical worlds, Roll the Dice offers a chance to explore the uncharted territories of artistic expression and fantasy.
