With the 27th edition of Quilt Visions opening this month, it is a good time to reintroduce this longstanding tradition within VMOTA to any new audience members! This internationally juried exhibition was created as a way to uplift textile art from all over the world. Submissions are accepted from local, national, and international artists to create a diverse space to explore the growing techniques and narratives within textile art. This space is for artists and audiences alike to explore and learn, coming together over a shared experience and viewing. This year's Quilt Vision brings an explosion of color, texture, and story in each piece. We encourage you to come in and take your time with each piece. If you have already stopped by, please let us know which one was your favorite!
Introducing 3 New Exhibits: Quilt Vision 2026 Biennial, Origins, and Will You Stay Here for a Moment? By Denja Harris are now open until January 16th, 2027. Be sure to stop by as many times as you can! Each exhibit features compelling details, creating an opportunity for you to find something new to examine each time you visit. These three exhibits host a mix of local, national, and international artists. As a museum that looks to exalt contemporary textile art, we are always looking to expand our knowledge and integrate new perspectives and techniques to our audience. We want to thank everyone who came to our opening to support the artists and VMOTA, making it a great start to these compelling exhibits.
Make sure not to miss out on this great opportunity to learn new techniques and apply them to your own practice! In this workshop, participants will learn how to enhance tea bags using provided materials. You'll be taught how to incorporate details using free-motion machine sewing and/or hand stitching. Then the individual tea bags will be arranged and attached to a fabric background measuring to approximately 12” x 14”. Libby will discuss different techniques for mounting your work onto a backing fabric or stretched canvas. All materials will be provided, though each participant is encouraged to bring an apron.
