About This Exhibit:

‍Featuring 10 quilts from VQM’s collection this exhibit celebrates how quilters use needle and thread to create significantly different works of art. The functional history of quilting has evolved through time to include many techniques and styles that are featured in these quilts made from the 1800’s through the 2020’s. The quilts offer a glimpse of the many treasures that Virginia Quilt Museum preserves and cares for.

VQM’s outreach programs celebrate the creativity, craftsmanship, and artistry of the makers and entices the public to visit the museum in Harrisonburg, participate in an online class or lecture, or follow VQM on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

About This Exhibit:

‍The theme for the exhibition was inspired by the poem “Trees” written by Joyce Kilmer. The show will feature artists working in a thought provoking and sensitive way. The exhibit encourages the viewer to expand their perception of how we interact with nature’s gentle giants. From the smallest acorn to towering redwoods, trees have a profound effect on our lives and the environment.

The exhibition is invitational and includes work from the following artists: Michele Fletcher-photography, Rebecca Grace Jones-painting, Jennifer Cox-painting, Karen Rosasco-painting, John Bell-painting, and Mary Beth Bellah-fiber. Select curated poetry will be paired with the visual pieces in the gallery to create an interesting and unique “fusion” of both art-forms.
