SUMMARY:Unpacking Collections: The Legacy of Cuesta Benberry A Symposium on Using Quilt History Collections
DESCRIPTION:
 Michigan State University Museum announces a major 
 event this fall: "Unpacking Collections: 
 The Legacy of Cuesta Benberry and a Symposium 
 on Using Quilt History Collections," to explore 
 the connections between using collections 
 in making or studying quilts.\n
 \n
 The symposium 
 is set for Oct. 8-10, 2010 in East Lansing, 
 Mich., and is planned in conjunction with 
 an exhibition that showcases examples of materials 
 from the Cuesta Benberry Quilt History 
 Collections that were recently acquired by the 
 MSU Museum.\n
 Scholars and creative artists 
 use private and public collections of objects 
 and archival materials to inform their work. 
 What do they collect? Where do they find collections 
 and how exactly do they use them? What 
 do they do with the collections when they 
 are done? How have they been inspired by collections? 
 What obstacles do they encounter when 
 building or using collections? These questions 
 and more will be explored in the MSU Museum 
 symposium.\n\n
 Price: regular: $125, early bird: $95 \n
