“Wall Power!” Spectacular Quilts Special Exhibition Tour

About this event

Join us for a special community tour of Wall Power! Spectacular Quilts from the American Folk Art Museum at the Dayton Art Institute! Discover the artistry, creativity and stories woven into these stunning quilts as we explore the exhibition together. From bold colors and intricate patterns to the personal histories behind the pieces, this tour offers a closer look at the incredible skill and imagination behind quilt making. 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. In addition, a selection of American quilts from the DAI’s extensive textile collection will be presented to complement Wall Power!
