As part of the city-wide exhibition of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt in Wakefield, The Art House will display a selection of quilt panels in the Tiled Gallery from 4–7 June, alongside the main exhibition at WX Wakefield.
Wakefield is proud to be the first city outside of London to host the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt. Presented in partnership with the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Partnership, the exhibition brings together 42 quilts and 23 individual panels commemorating more than 384 people affected by HIV and AIDS, forming part of the largest community art project in the world.
As part of the city‑wide presentation of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt, The Art House is excited to be displaying a selection of quilt panels in the Tiled Gallery for the duration of the exhibition at WX. We’ll also be contributing to the wider programme of exhibitions and displays taking place across the city, with a free Print, Stitch and Solidarity workshop taking place on Sunday 7 June from 10:30-15:00.
