Onyx Patchworks is an interactive art series connecting craft artistry, archival histories, and playful storytelling with the microstories of Black people in and of Berea, Ky and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The series brings together the community members of all ages to learn, play, and remember important histories.

The educational zine guidebooks, Onyx Patchworks Educational (OPE!), provide details about the symbols and illustrations, archival references, and historical resonance of the stories in contemporary memory.

The Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, support Onyx Patchworks with state tax dollars from the Kentucky General Assembly and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information, visit history.ky.gov.
