QUILT EXHIBIT
Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece by Piece

"Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece by Piece" is an exhibit of 52 extraordinary art quilts about Alzheimer's disease that is traveling throughout the United States October 2010.

The work of 54 quilt artists from 30 states, plus one artist from New Zealand is represented in the exhibit. The artists, many internationally renowned, offer poignant interpretations of the Alzheimer's experience in fiber. Themes include imaginings of an existence stripped of memory and learning; gritty illustrations of the anger, frustration, and stress of care-giving; beautiful tributes to loved ones taken by Alzheimer's; and the anticipation of a future cure. They are quilts of heartbreak and hope. Each artist statement is paired with a fact about Alzheimer's.

A computer CD with photographs of all the quilts in the exhibit narrated by the artists and a 112-page full color book are available for sale at all venues hosting the exhibit and on this web site. All profit from the sale of the CD and book is used to fund Alzheimer's research.

More than 190,000 people have had the opportunity to see these quilts at venues across the United States.
