About the Exhibit:

Quilts are America’s great art experiment: monumental compositions in color, pattern, geometry and representation, and traditionally, quilts are made mostly by women. The American Folk Art Museum has been at the forefront of the movement to bring recognition to quilts as a major art form with deep roots in American life and experience. The quilts presented in this traveling exhibition are graphically striking examples that embody a sense of “wall power.” In addition, a selection of American quilts from the DAI’s extensive textile collection will be presented to complement Wall Power!
