It's April, which also means it is Occupational Therapy Month. Visit our latest exhibition, "Wild and Untamed: Dunton's Discovery of the Baltimore Album Quilts" and learn how Dr. William Rush Dunton Jr. used quilting for his groundbreaking research in occupational therapy. While working at Sheppard Pratt in the 1940s, Dunton studied a variety of therapeutic occupations, such as gardening, woodworking, weaving, and quilting. He observed that the repetitive nature of quilting, the establishment of community as women came together to complete one quilt, and the encouragement of self-expression and creativity all provided unparalleled benefits. Visit the exhibition, Wed.-Sat., 10 a.m.-5 p.m., to learn more about Dunton's work and view selected quilts from our internationally famous Baltimore album quilt collection.
