Aprons: An Exhibit and Conversation

Multidisciplinary artist Beverly Keese-Kelley returns to the Trent House with an exhibition of aprons and to lead a conversation about women doing domestic work in their own homes and in the homes of others.

A Trenton native, Beverly began creating art as a youth, under the tutorials of her mother Sudie Keese who taught her sewing, art, and decorating. She compiles her artwork from a 'sustainable' point of view, using what's readily available such as found, thrifted and recyclable items, all the while using techniques and methods long known to African Artisans.

Come see Beverly's collection of aprons hung around the Visitor Center - and feel free to bring your favorite apron to show off. Join the conversation with a story about how a woman in your life has influenced you.
