EMPIRE, Mich. (AP) - A quilt inspired by Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore that won the 2013 ArtPrize competition is going on permanent display at the northern Michigan park’s visitor center.
The 20-foot-long by 5-foot-tall quilt created by Ann Loveless of Frankfort, Michigan, won $200,000 in public voting at the Grand Rapids event.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports (https://bit.ly/1UN8I2K ) ArtPrize is donating the quilt. It will be installed in the gallery at the park’s Philip A. Hart Visitor Center in Empire, near other selections from the park’s Artist-In-Residence collection of visual arts.
Merrith Baughman, the park’s chief of interpretation and visitor services, says the quilt “shows the park in a different way.”
The quilt is to be unveiled April 16 at a National Park Service Centennial program called “Find Your Art in the Park.”
