Join us for the opening of Community & Craftivism, an exhibit showcasing how art can become an opportunity to build community and advocate for change, one stitch at a time. Be the first to view Arlington Heights Memorial Library's Community Pride Quilt, with squares decorated by more than 50 community members. Connect with quilters, artists, and exhibit co-curator, Shannon Downey of Badass Cross Stitch. See Shannon's beloved collaborative quilt, Rita's Quilt, get hands-on with a variety of Pride Month and craftivist projects, and enjoy refreshments.

Community & Craftivism will feature community-driven quilts, art projects created through craftivism and more from June 12 to July 23. Curated in partnership with artist and activist Shannon Downey.
