Lawrenceburg, In. — A special quilt event, including a presentation by Brett Harper, child of the famous modernist artist Charley Harper, will be held in Lawrenceburg.
“Vintage to Vogue”: A Walk-About Quilt Show, will run Friday, May 31 through Saturday, June 1, and “Growing Up Harper” will take place Saturday afternoon.
The quilt show will feature quilts ranging from an earlier era all the way up to today’s modern pieces. The show will be open Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Charley Harper was a Cincinnati-based American modernist artist best known for his highly stylized wildlife prints, posters and book illustrations. His son, Brett Harper, will speak about growing up in such a talented household. This portion of the event will take place on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lawrenceburg Event Center, located at 91 Walnut Street in downtown Lawrenceburg. A number of items from the Harper shop will also be available to purchase. Both events are sponsored by the Lawrenceburg Modern Quilt Guild.
