Retrospective
Iowa Quilt Museum 10 Year Anniversary
What a wonderful evening! Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday, October 15, for our 10th Anniversary Gallery Reception! It was a fantastic celebration of ten years of quilts, creativity, and community. We were thrilled to welcome founding board members, former museum leadership, community members, and friends of the museum who have helped make these past ten years possible.
Our anniversary exhibit, Retrospective: IQM 10-Year Anniversary, closes Sunday, October 18, at 4:00 p.m. Featuring work from 32 quilt artists and two quilt collectors who have exhibited with us over the past decade, this special exhibition celebrates the diversity of traditional, contemporary, and art quilts.
During your visit, be sure to enjoy a special tribute to Winterset quilter Velma VanScoy, whose beautifully hand-quilted work is displayed in our mezzanine in honor of her lasting legacy.
Thank you for being part of our story! Whether you’ve supported us from the beginning or recently discovered the Iowa Quilt Museum, we are grateful for everyone who has helped us reach this milestone. We look forward to sharing many more years of quilts, creativity, and community with you!
