5 things to do in Westmoreland County: Jan. 7-9

Every quilt tells a story

An exhibition of story quilts by Pittsburgh-based fiber artist Tina Williams Brewer is showing through April 24 in the Robertshaw Gallery of The Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg.

“Cultivation: Journey of the Work” reflects the artist’s 40-year career through her multilayered quilts that employ symbolism, textiles and fabrics to explore African-American history, generational healing and the spirituality of her culture.

Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesdays-Sundays. Advance online registration is recommended. Admission is free; donations are accepted.
