From our friends at Richland Library —
Richland Library will serve as the setting for a collaborative artistic experience on Saturday, August 23, 2025, 2:00 p.m. at Richland Library Main (1431 Assembly St., Columbia, SC 29201), as Richland Library’s current Artist-in-Residence and fiber artist, LaToya Thompson facilitates AiR Presents: Community Quilts.
This free, hands-on event welcomes participants of all ages to design individual fabric squares that reflect personal experiences, cultural traditions, or moments from the community’s shared history. Each square, unique in its story and style, will be joined with others to form a single quilt—a living tapestry that celebrates unity and creativity.
No sewing experience is required, and all supplies will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring an open mind, a willingness to share, and a passion for building something meaningful together. As the quilt grows, so will the connections between neighbors, stories, and generations—stitched together in a work of art that belongs to everyone.
