GORGEous Art Quilts

Featuring 39 Gorge-themed art quilts hand-stitched by fifteen local artists, this exhibition unveils the most recent work from members of Beyond the Block: Art Quilters of the Gorge.

With fabric and thread, the artists tell stories and convey their impressions of the Gorge in all its wildness, beauty and majesty. From haunting spirits of native memories and charred remains of wildfires, to spectacular vista and breathtaking sunsets in a landscape teeming with wildflowers and wildlife, this collection delivers a captivating experience of this place.

This Exhibition can be seen in the Kuck Wing of the Museum, April 5 – June 16, 2024. Included with admission.
