Visit to the Carnegie Center 


On Thursday, November 13th, everyone from the Louisville Refugee Elder Program visited the Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Indiana. During this visit, students of the  program saw an exhibition of elaborate quilts by artist Penny Sisto.

Both of the above quilts were created by artist Penny Sisto.

Penny spoke to everyone about both her artwork, as well as her past life experiences and the influences that these experiences have had on her art.

Looking at Penny's artwork was a wonderful experience, and everyone on the program really seemed to enjoy themselves!
