Signs and Shibboleths Exhibition

     The exhibit “Signs and Shibboleths” was inspired by the book “Hidden in Plain View – A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad” by Jacqueline L. Tobin and Raymond C. Dobard, PhD. This exhibit was originally displayed at Goose Creek Studio in April 2020.  We are pleased to offer this exhibit once again in our Art Around the Corner on the Second Floor of the Bower Center.
