Students from African Canadian Studies at Bridgewater Junior Senior/High School are hosting a freedom quilt art exhibition today (April 22th) as part of provincial Education Week. The class will display paper replicas of freedom quilts they designed with help from local artist Rebecca Fisk. Fisk says the students are discovering their artistic potential. She says they're mixing textures and colours and coming up with beautiful designs. Bridgewater Junior/Senior High received an ArtSmarts grant, through the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and funded by the Office of African Nova Scotian Affairs.
