Ruth Weisberg & Heather Stoltz
in Presentation & Conversation
on “Flight and Freedom”
Wednesday, March 15, 2023, 7:00 PM MST |
- 9:00 PM Eastern
- 6:00 PM Pacific
- 8:00 PM Central
At this time of year, when Passover is within view, our thoughts turn to the hope of spring, with the remembrance of journeys past.
“Flight and Freedom” pairs two artists actively engaged in the dialogue of change. For Weisberg, the works explore history to shine a light on the eternal desire for a new and hopeful future. For Stoltz and her sewn creations, it is social justice that is held up to the mirror of freedom and democracy. Ruth Weisberg has been a pioneer for women in art at every step of her accomplished career. As an organizer, activist and leader she is well known for her paintings reflecting upon the cycle of life and the continuity of generations. Heather Stoltz is a fibre artist who creates quilted wall hangings and fabric sculptures inspired by social justice issues, Jewish texts and domestic life.

ART & SCROLL w/ Laurie Wohl
In association with the AMERICAN GUILD OF JUDIAC ART invite you to join LAURIE WOHL
In presentation & Conversation
WHEN: Wednesday, January 18
TIME: 7:00 PM MST
(9:00 PM Eastern | 6:00 PM Pacific | 8:00 PM Central)
Laurie responds to the turmoil of our world through inspiration found in various poetic text sources, including Jewish, Christian and Muslim. She reflects the oldest traditions of narrative textiles but in a thoroughly contemporary idiom. Through her iconography and collage, texture and calligraphy communicate a message of hope in each piece. Integrating materials with fibre and pattern, she boldly “unweaves” the fabric to reveal the beginnings of new visually stunning and spiritually uplifting artwork.
