In its 52nd year to raise funds for the Paint Creek Center for the Arts (PCCA), the event will have new features to com- memorate the city of Rochester's 200th anniversary. Among them will be a monster mural for kids to help create. In addition to art, there will be live entertainment, chil- dren's activities, food offerings and interactive exhibits. Apple treats — such as strudel, streusel and caramel apples — will be featured. Art & Apples, which suggests a $5 tax-deductible donation per person, supports the PCCA as it promotes the arts and artistic excellence through art edu- cation, exhibitions, an art market, outreach programs and more. Other nonprofit organizations that benefit include Rochester Jaycees, PLEA Foundation (supporting K9 work in law enforcement), Music Shapes, Wish Upon A Teen, Rochester College Theatre Department and Onyx Theatre Troupe-Skating Team. Rosenfeld, 57, became interested in fabric projects through her late grandmother, Emma Silverman, who taught her granddaughter how to knit, embroider and crochet. Rosenfeld extended that interest through art classes at Southfield High School before going on to study textiles at Rhode Island School of Design and Syracuse University, where she earned a bachelor of fine arts degree. Before returning to Michigan, Rosenfeld worked for a small compa- ny in New York, where she came up with wallpaper and fabric designs. "When I was younger, I made purses and handbags," she says. "My interest in quilting started when I was a teenager, but I didn't get seri- ous about it until 2008. One day, I started thinking about making quilts; my two sons, now in their 20s, were teenagers then, and I sewed quilts for them." Rosenfeld refined quilting skills by reading books and taking classes at the Guildcrafters Quilt Shop in Berkley and researching online sources. Rosenfeld, a member of Congregation Shaarey Zedek while she was growing up and now a mem- ber of Congregation B'nai Moshe with her husband, Michael, has not made Judaica designs but is think- ing about making a chuppah for a friend's daughter who is about to be married. In her own home, she cherishes a sampler quilt made by using differ- ent techniques. It became a learning and practice piece with lots of senti- mental value. "I love how it turned out," says the textile artist, a member of Hadassah. "I will always keep it." As Rosenfeld gets ready to appear at the fair, she is looking forward to seeing the work of the other artists. She also is ready to do some tasting as the apple specialties roll out. "I love apples," she says. "And I love apple pie." • MORE FAIRS & FESTS Along with Art & Apples, Labor Day week- end offers lots of other fun events.
