What That Quilt Knows About Me – This exhibition features 35 quilts and related works of art that explore the deeply personal and emotional power associated with the experience of making and living with quilts. The exhibition’s title conveys the idea that quilts have the capacity for “knowing” or containing information about the human experience. Reflecting on this sentiment, the exhibition presents quilts as collections of intimate stories.
Material Witness: Folk and Self-Taught Artists at Work – Material Witness is the first in a series of thematic shows drawn from the Museum’s collection and generously supported by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. Featuring nearly 150 works of art, this exhibition chronicles how artists across four centuries have utilized various components of the material world.
