Last stop before the 2010 Winter Olympics

Residents of Toronto and area have a unique opportunity to view one of the major attractions of the Cultural Olympiad for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.

From October 16 to 18, Quilt of Belonging will be on exhibition at the Metro Toronto Convention Center graciously hosted by the creativfestival. This is the last stop before the Quilt is exhibited in Surrey as part of the Cultural Olympiad.

This textile mosaic measures 120 feet long by 10 feet tall and embraces 263 richly hued blocks. These beautifully crafted blocks portray the cultural legacies of all the First Peoples in Canada and every nation of the world.

Artist and creator Esther Bryan will be on hand to greet visitors and to share the many stories of the Quilt. Come and learn how this stunning human tapestry proves to be a visual testament of what can be achieved when ordinary people work together for the good of all.
