100 Students to Participate in the High Museum’s Scrollathon Project on August 20th at Tapestry!

The famous artistic duo, the Ladd Brothers, will bring their nationally acclaimed Scrollathon project to Tapestry on Tuesday, August 20th.

Brothers Steven and William Ladd began collaborating as professional artists in 2000. Their work is included in major private and museum collections internationally. Reflecting on the lack of exposure to the arts in their own
childhoods, in 2006 they began the Scrollathon, engaging communities to bring the arts directly to those who might not otherwise have a chance to engage with professional artists.

Scrollathons began with participants learning about how the artists make and use “scrolls”—a tightly wound strip of fabric secured with a pin. With scrolls as the physical catalyst, the program has evolved into a way of engaging participants to think about what they value in life.

Tapestry students will get the unique opportunity to create their own scrolls and participate in a reflective interview about the scroll making process. Their scrolls will then be taken to Dallas where scrolls from around the country will be installed in a collective exhibit.
