Upcoming Exhibits

The National Quilt Museum is honored to host a collection of quilts from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum for an exclusive exhibition in commemoration of the 20thanniversary  of the  September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed 2,977 people, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six. 

Maggie’s goal as an artist is to create a compelling surface that invites the viewer to react, take a closer look and to strive to bring beauty or awareness into the world. 

The Silhouette Quilts exhibition combines the principles of composition, design and collage with art cloth and quilt making, to make it the best of both worlds.

Denise uses discarded quilts, a craft medium most commonly associated with women’s domestic work, recognizing that these artifacts have value as material repositories/artifacts embedded with the decisions of their makers–aesthetic, utilitarian, and creative. She appropriates the remains of quilts and paints into them, interacting with their form, pattern, and surface.

As a textile artist, Valerie chooses to express herself using dye, fabric markers, discharging agents, textile paint and a host of wet materials.In her Roots and Refuge Series, Valerie encourages one to consider roots as metaphors. Roots, like people, are intertwined and connected. Her intent is to challenge the viewer to see the beauty and complexity of roots.

John gained international recognition as a quilt artist in the late 1990’s and has since shown works nationally and internationally in this medium.John also creates works in many other media including sculpture, painting, cartography, and the graphic arts.
