Susan Berry and Joyce Conrad, docents for the exhibit, review some of the historic quilts on display at Johnson Center for the Arts. The âJust How I Pictured It In My Mindâ exhibit includes a variety of African-American quilts on loan from the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art. Susan Berry and Joyce Conrad sat transfixed before a wall of colorful quilts and marveled at the stories that unfolded before them. Berry and Conrad are among the docents who will lead tours of the âJust How I Pictured It in My Mindâ quilt exhibition at the Johnson Center for the Arts in Troy through March 27. Stories are wrapped in the colors and patterns of each of the 16 African American quilts chosen for this exhibit and the stories are as fascinating and as endearing as the quilts themselves, said Wiley White, development director of Troy-Pike Cultural Arts Center.
