SustainABILITY

Traveling Exhibit opens at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles on Thursday, January 16th through Sunday, April 6th.

Thursdays, Fridays | 1 pm to 7 pm
 Saturdays, Sundays | 11 am to 5 pm

How do we balance humanity's needs and desires against preserving our planet for future generations? This question is at the heart of Sustainability, which addresses some of today's most pressing environmental issues, such as the effect of plastic pollution on our oceans, and the immense amounts of waste generated by the fast fashion industry.

All of the artwork in some way illustrates our complex interconnectedness with nature. Some pieces expose the ugly, and often unnoticed, impact of our present way of life; others capture the essence of what makes our world so beautiful, reminding us of the irreplaceable treasures we could potentially lose forever.


YOU DID IT!

Thanks to you - our incredible community of members, volunteers, and donors,
we met our goal to raise $300,000 by June 30.

We are honored by your dedication to preserve, celebrate, and promote quilts and textiles in San Jose. 

We are not entirely out of the woods yet; please continue to keep us in your philanthropy by making regular contributions and renewing your membership so we can ensure the next generation of quilters and artists has a safe and welcoming place to learn the joys of learning textile artistry. 


The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is your “go-to” for all things textiles!

The mission of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is to preserve, celebrate, and promote knowledge about quilts and textiles, their creation, their beauty, and their relationship to human culture and expression.
