Join Society 1858 for an exclusive site visit with past Visiting Artist Katy Mixon (2022) as we explore the creation of Spool of Friends, a new public art project debuting during Art Charleston. This immersive, communally crafted quilted painting draws inspiration from the tradition of American album quilts, blending vibrant textiles and collaborative storytelling.
On Saturday, April 26th, guests will gather in the Ruth and Bill Baker Art Sales Gallery for an engaging discussion with Mixon, where she will share insights into her artistic process and the collective effort behind Spool of Friends. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the work up close and celebrate the power of community-driven art.
Spool of Friends will be on display at the Gibbes from April 23–27, 2025.
