The MIT Museum invites the public to view the recently completed Mending Boston quilt, a contemplative work that depicts the Greater Boston community’s response to the Boston Marathon tragedy. A meet and greet with Clara Wainwright, the Cambridge artist behind the project, will be held, Friday, Sept. 13, 5- 8 p.m.
The 13-by-5-foot quilt depicts the city’s landmarks and the marathon route as well as many other designs that have been added by the hundreds of people in the community who helped stitch the quilt. The quilt will be on display at the MIT Museum through October.
Also that evening, join members of the MIT community in a community art project — create a square that will be integrated into a collage that will create a visual picture of Cambridge. Leave your finished piece at the MIT Museum and return in April to see how the final project turns out.
The MIT Museum is at 265 Mass. Ave.
