Hartsfield Quilt Collection
Caldwell, Love & Hartsfield
Family of Quilters

January 30 - April 28, 2019
Opening Reception Feb. 2, 3-5PM

“The Hartsfield’s collection’s roots date back to the early 1850’s with my great, great, great grandmother who lived in Whitlock, Tennessee, and whose name was Ms. Molly. She was the seamstress for the plantation’s master and she was his property. As a slave, she was “beholden” to her slave master’s wishes, and she bore two children by her owner. Ms. Molly had two children out of slavery; the name of one son is Richard Caldwell, who is my great grandfather [x4], the other son’s name is unknown.”
                                                 Jim Tharpe

Richard Caldwell was 9 years old when he became a free person.  He kept his mother’s quilts and passed them down to his son Philip.  The collection was added to through the years by other members of the Caldwell-Hartsfield family and eventually came to Jim Tharpe, who is sharing these treasured pieces and their stories with the public.

Art Cloth Network

January 9 - March 24, 2019

The Art Cloth Network is a diverse group of professional artists from the United States and Canada who have come together with a common goal -- to promote the medium of cloth as an art form and share it with others. Each of their members brings a personal vision and sensibility to his or her cloth. The group was formed to provide a support forum as well as exhibition opportunities for its members and to promote an appreciation of art cloth in the broader community.

ART CLOTH is cloth transformed by adding or subtracting color, line, shape, texture, value, or fiber to create a compelling surface.

The members of the Art Cloth Network come from all over the United States and Canada.
