We are proud to present The Art of the Quilt at the Steamboat Art Museum. When this exhibition was originally scheduled, we never imagined how appropriate our timing would be as our community “re-opens”. Quilts, throughout history, have been used to comfort, protect, provide warmth, tell a story, add artistic charm, and in their creation, bring people together. Assembled from many pieces, layered and stitched, quilts embody the principal that the whole is stronger than its parts, an important reminder for all of us as we pull together to move forward.
Current Exhibition: The Art of the Quilt
June 26 through September 6, 2020
The exhibit features the work of internationally recognized fiber artists and teachers, David M. Taylor and Denise Labadie with Steamboat artists Madeleine Vail and Jackie Grimaldi. All artists have deep Colorado roots, coming together in Steamboat Springs, representing varied styles from traditional to contemporary in an explosion of colors, patterns, textures and design. Quilts available for purchase.
