Her Quilt Project,”Faces
Not Forgotten” are portraits of young gun violence victims (20
and under) to raise awareness of the toll of gun violence in this country and
to keep the memory of these young victims visually "alive" will

Christine Ilewski,
pays for Faces by conducting methods workshops as a visiting artist with the
Liquitex Artist Outreach Program. This Friday she will give a 2 hour
material/methods workshop for artists and fine art students.
The instructor's
curriculum event open to adult artists, and will be conducted 6-8pm in

is no charge to you. This is a program sponsored by Liquitex for the past 50
years. There will be samples for those that signup, she does not sell any
products. It is strictly educational.
