WE WANT YOUR HELP!

Join KHS at Edgehill on Thursday and be a part of History

(and join the fun!)

Join us for all four art-making sessions on:

March 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM

Join us at Edgehill for four Thursday evenings in March for a community art project: the “Bronx 250th Tapestry.” As an update to the bicentennial quilts that were sewn in our area in 1976, this tapestry will represent our community, historic events, and landmarks. Only this time, no needle or thread is required to contribute. Participants will work with teaching artist Tijay Mohammed and the KHS team to produce “squares,” which will all be stitched together later to form the larger tapestry which will be displayed at different venues in the community and preserved for future generations.

No artistic or sewing experience is needed! You can choose to create art, design, or just help out with stitching–or you can do all of those components if you wish.

If you sign up, you will come to four sessions at Edgehill on March 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th that will run from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Please respond to this email to let us know if you would like to join. We have already been holding these sessions at RSS and the participants have been having a great time so come join in the fun!

(When the tapestry squares are nearing completion we will also need volunteers that can sew so please let us know if you are interested in doing that).

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

A group of seniors are helping out with the Tapestry at RSS and having a blast. Check out this Riverdale Press Article.
