VMOTA’s Annual Campaign

Invest in the museum’s purpose to uplift cultural traditions, contemporary relevance, and innovative creativity.

At Visions Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA), we believe textile art transforms stories, opens dialogue, sparks curiosity, and enhances mental health and well-being. Since we incorporated in 1985, we’ve championed textile art as both fine art and a source of healing, heritage, and creative expression.

Why Invest?

Textile art is gaining momentum, but that wasn’t always the case. Forty years ago, a group of volunteer women advocated for quilts to be recognized as fine art, and that’s how VMOTA was born. To keep this legacy going, we need your support so we can continue to offer a space for reflection, belonging, and a community enriched by cultural exchange through textile art.

Sustaining this mission, especially as arts funding shrinks, requires your support.
