Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections is on display at the Baxter County Library until July 31. Visit the Library Monday-Saturday 10am-3pm to see the exhibit before it is gone for good. The Apron Chronicles exhibit which went on display at the Library earlier in the year has been extended thanks to EllynAnne Geisel, the curator of the exhibit.
Apron Chronicles is a nostalgic, thought provoking and generational-friendly traveling exhibition. Touring since 2004, Apron Chronicles presents the American experience through 21 photographs by Kristina Loggia, accompanying text in story form and 50 vintage aprons. Utilizing the apron as a symbol immediately recognized by everyone, Apron Chronicles explores the people behind the aprons and is ultimately more about life than fabric.
Best-selling author EllynAnne Geisel’s stories and vintage apron collection give voice to the exhibit, with award-winning photographer Kristina Loggia preserving the storytellers' images in an environmental style that complements the unadorned honesty of their recollections. Apron Chronicles national recognition includes Time Magazine, the New York Times, CBS Sunday Morning and NPR’s Weekend Edition. Autographed books written by the curator of the exhibition are available for purchase at the circulation desk, including Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections and The Apron Book: Making, Wearing, and Sharing a Bit of Cloth and Comfort.
