Exhibit Farewell Reception!
Rebound – Renew – Reimagine: Manhattan Quilters Guild
Sunday, March 29, 3:00pm to 5:00pm
Open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10.
Join us this Sunday, March 29, 2026 for a special Farewell Exhibit Reception as we say goodbye to the stunning “Rebound – Renew – Reimagine” exhibit from the Manhattan Quilters Guild. This heartfelt collection, reflecting on life post-pandemic through vibrant, story-filled quilts, has touched so many visitors. Come one last time to soak in the colors, textures, and inspiration before it closes!
No registration needed, just drop in and enjoy! Bring a friend, take photos, and celebrate the power of quilts to rebound, renew, and reimagine. From 3:00–4:00 PM, mingle and chat about your favorite pieces over delicious hors d’oeuvres and refreshing drinks during our open reception, followed by live music from 4:00–5:00 PM with Des Moines pianist and vocalist Chris Powell, who will perform a special selection of New York-themed songs to honor the Manhattan Quilters Guild and add a lively, celebratory vibe to the afternoon.
Spring into Creativity
Learn, Create, and Be Inspired
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skills and spark new ideas! We have a variety of upcoming classes and lectures designed to inspire quilters of all levels—from hands-on machine maintenance and creative lectures to hand stitching and barn quilt painting.
With both in-person and virtual options available, there’s something for everyone this season. Many classes have limited space and are filling quickly, so we encourage you to take a look soon.
