FIELD TRIP: FREE COMMUNITY DAY AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WOMEN IN THE ARTS: ROUTED WEST – AFRICAN AMERICAN QUILTS IN CALIFORNIA EXHIBIT
· Explore Routed West, an exhibition tracing the stories of African Americans who migrated west during the Second Great Migration (1940–1970), bringing their quilt-making traditions with them. Featuring nearly 80 works by more than 70 artists connected to the San Francisco Bay Area, the exhibition celebrates creativity, community, resilience, and the power of quilts to preserve personal and cultural history.
· Meet: Takoma Metro Station at 10:00 am to travel together by Metro to the museum. ERCV members may request a ride to and from Takoma Metro. It’s Community Day at the museum so there is no entrance fee.
