Featuring original projects, installations and performances by some of Alberta’s fiercest artists, this upcoming Refinery will redefine your idea of a night out.
Each Refinery now features a Creative Director to generate the event’s vision. For this installment of Refinery, Jessica Kennedy will get your creative juices flowing with Sewing the Heartland.
Creative Director Statement
“I have always been inspired by the women who came before us. Sewing the Heartland is an extension of my desire to publically recognize these empowering women. The theme is founded on my admiration of their craft, as well as the backdrop against which they which worked, the prairies. The landscape’s blue skies, open fields of grain, never-ending dirt roads and always-changing seasons undoubtedly inspired their works. Determined to create a better future for their families, women fashioned life on the prairies one stitch at a time. Our great-grandmothers, grandmothers and mothers sewed clothing, stitched quilts and knitted sweaters and, in doing so, warmed hearts across generations. It is their legacy that Sewing the Heartland will honour and celebrate.”
