I was at the Central Library of Rochester & Monroe County, downtown yesterday for a book review and discovered an amazing Art Quilt Show.  “The Almighty Dollar” is in the Lower Link Gallery.  That’s the underground hallway that links the old building to the new building under South Avenue.  All of the quilts are inspired by the dollar bill and are made by local quilt artists like Pat Pauly, Jeanne Simpson, Pat Berardi and Linda Backman, just to name a few.  The exhibit was organized by Pat Pauly and is funded in part by the Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester with a Fiber Arts Program grant made in collaboration with the Genesee Valley Quilt Club.  If you haven’t been to the downtown library in awhile, stop in and see the quilt show,  check out the new part of the library and get something to eat at Simply Crepes in the new buildings lobby.  They had live music by a couple of Eastman School of Music students during the lunch hour in the restaurant when I was there on Tuesday.  The exhibit only runs through April 30th, so I encourage you all to try and get downtown before the end of the month and check out this fascinating exhibit.  It’s free and open to the public.
