Dawn DeAno, Creator, Stories to Tell - Barn Quilts of Boulder County
Stories to Tell--Barn Quilts of Boulder County is a public arts and heritage project that will culminate in a trail of 20 large scale colorfully painted installations of historically significant quilt block designs mounted to barn exteriors. The creator of this endeavor, Dawn DeAno, will be available on June 17 at Lafayette's Art Night Out from 5-9 pm and on June 29 at the Boulder Farmer’s Market from 3-8 pm to demonstrate the making of the barn quilts. The public, young and old, will be invited to participate in the painting of this barn quilt and learn more about this Boulder County public art and heritage project that is taking root. In Lafayette, you can participate in making 'Doves in the Window' which is destined to reside at the Pachamama Farm and Wellness location, set in a beautiful hillside in Longmont. At the Boulder event, take part in creating ‘Flat Iron.' This installation will reside at the 100+ year old barn located at 6801 Baseline, owned by the Christian family. Barn quilts have existed for generations, but a revival of interest began in 2000. Since then, barn quilt installations have been completed nationwide, including Morgan County, Colorado, to promote rural landscapes, agricultural traditions, and awareness and knowledge of quilting traditions. This project promotes the unique Colorado landscape and also calls attention to the geography of “we”: the diverse social and cultural populations and individuals who have influenced Boulder County. Just as cloth quilts have historically been used as a medium for storytelling, each of these contemporary barn quilt installations will commemorate a person from Boulder County who has impacted the area. This project is sponsored by the City of Lafayette Cultural Arts Commission's Public Art Committee, The National Quilting Association, Inc., and BCAA. For the last 10 years DeAno has been a portrait photographer and catalyst for community engagement. She is passionate about the use of creative expression in communities and working for justice, equality and compassion. BCAA Facilities Directory - Featured Venue
