Alabama forges arts alliance with city in Italy [Pietrasanta]

The group from Pietrasanta has also shown much interest in Alabama's story of diversity, so the state organizers have included important elements on the itinerary. In 2008, during the visit to Pietrasanta, the arts council's visual arts program manager Georgine Clarke presented part of the state's story through African-American quilter Yvonne Wells' works, Lucas' sculpture and other artworks, all of which were well-received, Head said.
