@🎨🧵 Stitching Confidence. Creating Futures. 🧵🎨

VMOTA’s partnership with Liberty School brings quilt-making and textile art into elementary classrooms—empowering students through creativity, self-expression, and hands-on learning.

From drawing and painting to sewing and design, students create meaningful textile self-portraits that are proudly displayed at the museum before going home with them forever. 💛

Freeform crocheted works made from reclaimed fibers give voice to transformation, rebirth, and the womb as a site of creation. Each piece is born without a pattern—every stitch an act of choosing, every form one of a kind.

🗓 On view through January 31, 2026
