Allyson Allen explains what Juneteenth means to her, and how she uses her art to educate. She uses traditional materials to create unique, dimensional textile art, quilts, dolls, and handmade books. Her work often references social issues, Black history, and African folklore. Many of her quilts are created specifically for storytelling presentations. Her art will be on display at the Neighborhood Congregational Church, 340 St. Anns Drive, on weekdays, June 18 to June 30 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
