For anyone who has ever made their own weaving or quilt, loves the history and tradition that these historic objects represent or simply appreciates hand-made textiles, The Art of the Quilter and Navajo Weavings: Adapting Tradition are must-see exhibitions.
WILLIAMSBURG, VA
.- Visitors to the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, one of the two expanded Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, will experience two new textile exhibitions: The Art of the Quilter opened on July 3 in the Foster and Muriel McCarl Gallery and Navajo Weavings: Adapting Tradition will open in the Mary B. and William Lehman Guyton Gallery in early August. These exhibitions are certain to be popular with museum goers as exhibitions displaying Colonial Williamsburgs renowned quilt collection have always been favorites of Art Museums guests, and Navajo Weavings: Tradition and Trade, the first exhibition at Colonial Williamsburg on loan from the collection of American folk art enthusiasts Pat and Rex Lucke, has been embraced by visitors since it opened in 2018.
