"Remembrance Quilt Exhibition" Grand Opening

The Matheson is hosting the Alachua County Community Remembrance Project’s six Community Quilts in an exhibit that examines the role that injustice and violence had in our county’s history and the ways that our community moved towards reconciliation in the recent past. The quilts were made by Alachua County residents from various walks of life to remember and honor the 47 lives lost to racial violence in the 19th and 20th centuries in Alachua County.

The quilts will be on display in the Mary Ann Cofrin Gallery through May 2026.

This exhibition is sponsored in part by Visit Gainesville/Alachua County, FL.
