The Almighty Dollar Exhibit

What a beautiful day in Rochester! On my way to the Almighty Dollar Exhibit at the Rundel Library in downtown Rochester, I couldn't help but stop and take in the view down the Genessee with the new bridge in the background! Although beautifully sunny, it was definitely a crisp day.
This was looking through the buildings from the library to my old workplace where I spent the better part of 30 years (Xerox). That grey building looks much better on a sunny day than during our usual cloudy weather!



The Almighty Dollar Exhibit is right downstairs when you enter the Rundel Library (just go inside and make an immediate right turn down the stairs). It basically is in the area that links the Rundel with the Bausch and Lomb Library Building. The quilts are contained in the link as well as in the sitting area of the B & L building. I found parking during the middle of the day right on the bridge over the Genessee and it was a pleasant walk to the library from there.

Mary Diamond's frowning George is the first one pictured here.

As I hadn't managed to get a picture of Marcia's beautiful quilt, thought I would picture it today. Note the pyramid and the "all seeing eye" from the dollar bill.
This was Pat Pauly's quilt which pictures George in a much more colorful way! Pat organized the challenge, got funding, found a venue and curated the exhibit. Thanks Pat -- it looks great!
Here was my contribution which is called Red, White and Blue and Green Allover. I incorpor-ated several of the symbols from the dollar bill including the 13 gold stars (in the shape of an altar) and the green olive leaves floating on the top of the fractured flag symbolizing my hopes for peace.

The Exhibit will be at the Rundel Library until the end of April. There are two talks scheduled as well. The Library is open all days (closed on Easter) and open late on Thursday night so a perfect thing to do before going to a concert!
