Join us on the evening on Oct. 6 for a special First Friday and the opening of a new exhibition at the International Quilt Museum!

At 5:30 p.m., professor and historian Janneken Smucker will lecture on the topic of “A New Deal for Quilts” — a new exhibition opening in the IQM’s Gottsch Gallery curated by Smucker. The exhibition will share stories of American quiltmakers and how they coped with the Great Depression, while also exploring the parallels between the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Enjoy FREE access to the museum from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the First Friday of each month.
