On hiatus in December but returning in January 2027: Each month, a different item from our permanent collection will be on display for First Fridays.

We are excited to share VMOTA’s history by highlighting artwork from our permanent collection during our monthly First Fridays events. The importance of permanent art collections in museums lies in their role as a vital resource for understanding history, art, and culture. These collections serve as a reflection of the institution’s values and aspirations, allowing visitors to explore the styles and beliefs of the community. They are used for educational purposes, fostering connections between past and present, and providing insights into the evolution of art and culture over time. Additionally, permanent collections contribute to the museum’s mission by offering a rich array of artworks that tell stories from various cultures and eras, enriching the visitor’s experience and promoting learning and creativity.

Experience the Arts District after hours, wander through our galleries, and interact with textile artists.

During seasonal craft sessions, unleash your inner artist as well!

This opportunity is free and open to the public. Individuals of all levels of experience are invited.
