Louise Eastman & Janis Stemmermann: Black and White and Red All Over
The Arts Center at Duck Creek is pleased to present Black and White and Red All Over, a collaborative exhibition by artists Louise Eastman and Janis Stemmermann, on view in the John Little Barn from May 3 to June 8, 2025. A public reception will be held on Saturday, May 3, from 5–7 PM.
This visually striking and conceptually rich exhibition brings together Eastman’s bold textile works and ceramics with Stemmermann’s evocative prints and sculptural installation. The exhibition’s title draws inspiration from the classic riddle—“What’s black and white and read all over?”—referencing newspapers, a traditional quilt pattern, and the broader themes of storytelling and cultural inheritance. Longtime friends and collaborators, Eastman and Stemmermann explore the interplay of visual language, material, and memory through a shared palette of black, white, and red.
As a companion event, the Third Annual Airing of the Quilts at Duck Creek will take place on Saturday, May 17 (rain date May 18). This beloved community tradition, organized by Louise Eastman and Erica-Lynn Huberty, invites the public to bring their quilts to display on the grounds and share personal stories.
