On Saturday,
May 11, 2013, the exhibit of the Lake Apopka Quilts opened at the DeLand
African-American Art Museum.
They will
continue on display through June 29th with a selection of photographs
from The Last Harvest collection (http://crealde.org/traveling_exhibits.html).
The Museum is located at
325 S Clara Ave, DeLand, FL 32720
(386) 736-4004
Wednesday – Saturday, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Former Lake
Apopka farmworkers Linda Lee, Betty DeBose, and Mary Ann Robinson spoke to a
very receptive and interested audience about their experiences and history with
farms around Lake Apopka. And, Linda Lee
described the history and making of the quilts.
The Museum
has a very nice permanent collection as well and is definitely worth a visit to
DeLand!
