CHEW Presents - Apron Strings: Our Ties That Bind

The apron, while a functional and practical garment, enjoys significance culturally when identified with a profession, their ubiquity in our home kitchens, and with the individuals who wear or have worn them. A former, but long-running traveling exhibit (the "Apron Chronicles") encouraged visitors to share stories of their aprons. For this interactive, we invite attendees to bring and wear an apron and to share stories of the apron or aprons you keep, use and treasure.

The event will also feature a virtual compilation of aprons collected and archived by the Wisconsin Historical Society, and a short presentation by CHEW treasurer Char Thompson about the history of aprons. Additionally we will have a number of donated aprons to give away! Donations from guests are appreciated. Open to the public.

This event is not organized by Goodman Community Center. Please visit the CHEW website for more information and contacts.
