About

Uniting two of the most well known and popular artistic forms in African American culture: jazz and quilts.

Curated by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, Founder and Coordinator of The Women of Color Quilters Network, the exhibition includes work from some of America’s best known African American quilters.

These include Michael Cummings, Edjohnetta Miller, Tina Brewer, and Jim Smoote as well as quilts by top Bay Area quilters, Marion Coleman, Alice M. Beasley and Keisha Roberts.

Support for the exhibition and accompanying programs was received from Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Foundation, The St. Regis San Francisco, and Alliance for California Traditional Arts Agency. MoAD receives ongoing support from the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, foundations, corporations and individuals including its Board of Directors, members and patrons.
