Grace Church highlights role as community host during Civic Quilt Build
Summary
A Grace Church representative said the church hosts many community events, including the Civic Quilt Build, and described the congregation's support for local people in need and for arts-based civic engagement.
Grace Church served as the venue for the Civic Quilt Build and church representatives framed the event as one of many community-focused activities the parish hosts. "We put on a lot of events at Grace Church, and, this is just 1 of many that we do, and we support, people in need," a church representative said.
Attendees and church officials described the artwork as remarkable and said the variety of fabric tiles—ranging from elaborate to simple—conveyed a range of individual sentiments about democracy. The church's role, according to speakers at the event, was to provide space and community connection for an art-based civic initiative rather than to promote a particular political position.
