This Friday, February 10, will introduce Episode 4 - What is Art? from the exciting 9-part series, Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics from producer and host, Shelly Zegart. If you missed any previous episodes they will remain available for viewing until March 31, 2012.
This episode discusses, the art vs. craft debate: As a domestic object made by women for a practical purpose, the quilt falls squarely into the ‘craft' category, and a humble one, at that. But do some quilts become ‘art' when exhibited, like paintings, on a museum wall? Who decides "What is art?"
