CAM welcomes artist Celeste Butler at 5 PM for a member-only conversation with Susan Whisnant, CAM’s Registrar, about her work and quilt making process.
Butler uses quilts as a form of storytelling, documenting contemporary events in her community as well as celebrating the lives of her ancestors. Celeste uses her artistic practice in in-school artist residencies in addition to artist workshops on quilting. She lectures at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, and her work has been featured in the Washington Post, We Don’t Coast, and Omaha INSPIRED Living. Celeste is committed to serving, preserving, nurturing, and teaching togetherness in her community through her art.
