The Georgetown Public Library is hosting a special 9/11 quilt exhibit entitled Susan Hoppenworth: Works and Words from a 9/11 First Responder.
“In the aftermath of the 2001 attacks Susan Hoppenworth closed her business and traveled to New York City to serve as a 9/11 first responder counseling victims as well as other first responders,” the library said. “Since that time, she has created multiple art quilts focused on her experience and perceptions. Those quilts as well as journals and other mementos from her time in New York will be on display in the library in recognition of the twentieth anniversary of 9/11.”
The quilt exhibit can be viewed from 9 AM to 6 PM and the Artist Talk and Reception will take place at 4 PM on Friday, September 10 on the second floor of the library in the Hewlett Room.
“In addition to the full quilt exhibit, a display case of Susan’s 9/11 First Responder Mementos will be on the library’s second floor Bridge September 2-23,” the library said.
