"Company Keeper" by Phyllis Stephens

House of Art will unveil the fine art limited edition portfolio and quilt story book entitled �For Crying Out Loud� by Master Quilt Artist Phyllis Stephens. The creation of the portfolio stemmed from an article printed in an Essence Magazine, June 2006 article entitled �The Stolen Girls� by Donna Owens. The article reported on the brutal and horrific treatment of 33 girls wrongfully arrested and imprisoned in an abandoned Civil War stockade. The �For Crying Out Loud� Portfolio will be previewed March 27, 2010 from 6:00pm � 10:00pm during a special meet-the-artist reception to be held at The House of Art Gallery, located at 373 Lewis Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. The exhibit will run through April. The gallery will also host a special screening of the emotional and inspiring, award-winning documentary �LuLu and the Girls of Americus, 1963� produced, directed and written by Travis W. Lewis and Richard J. McCollough. The gallery will host the screening on March 28th from 2:00pm - 4:00pm.
