USN community collaborates on COVID quilt

Students, parents, faculty, and staff are welcome to submit a 5-inch square that captures their experience during the pandemic.
By Emily Holt, MS Art Teacher

The COVID Quilt project is open to any student, family members, faculty, and staff who would like to design a 5-by-5-inch square made up of any lightweight material you find. This collaborative project is open to all and will be connected together, digitally and physically, into a quilt that will be on display at USN in the future. 
 
This project is meant to mark this historical time we are all living through collectively and how we are all connected to each other. For your design, think about what you would like to convey about your specific experience. The design of the square is open to your unique interpretation and what you would like to communicate through art. 
 
I am accepting quilt squares anytime from now through the summer months. To learn more, see directions & prompts, and submit your square, please follow this link.
