This summer, folklorists from Traditional Arts Indiana are looking to meet and interview quilters and other fiber artists in the Indianapolis region as part of the Everyday Arts and Aging initiative. The project focuses on the diverse ways of aging in urban parts of the state. Folklorists will be using these interviews to create a resource guide which highlights how older adults are using everyday arts in later life. The guide will be distributed to libraries, senior centers, and individuals throughout the country. If you are interested in being involved, or if you know someone who might be, please contact Claire Gillett at cgillet@iu.edu or 801-577-2707.
