Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum has three new exhibits that will run from through April of 2025. Each of these unique exhibits will highlight a different type of textile art providing for a multifaceted museum experience.

The Art Cloth Network’s traveling exhibit “Unfolding” will be displayed in the Dr. Charles and Marilyn Hubbard Gallery. This exhibit encourages artists to think about “what is revealed when a story is told….” Artists interpreted the theme in a wide variety of ways, drawing inspiration from life, nature, world issues, and more. These three-dimensional textile works will use a variety of interpretations to reveal a story, similar to unwrapping a gift. It features 26 works by 23 artists allowing for various interpretations to inspire guests.

For lovers of traditional quilts, the museum will feature “Stars of All Points”. This exhibit will explore star pattern quilts of various forms, highlighting some incredible pieces from the Museum's permanent collection. Visitors can also make a woven star decoration to take home. Both Unfolding and Stars of All Points will be open to the public from January 7 - April 12, 2025.

The third exhibit brings a taste of Filipino heritage to West Georgia with Chiara Cox's exhibit “Contemporary Filipino Textiles.” This exhibit serves to link Filipinos in the USA and Filipinos in the Philippines by showcasing their shared culture and heritage through a visual display of a variety of fabrics and a discussion of weaving traditions still found in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao today. By exhibiting different Philippine weaves, this collection aims to preserve Filipino cultural heritage, keep the legacy of traditional Filipino weavers alive, and educate the diaspora of Filipinos about their cultural inheritance. This exhibit will be on display from January 8 - April 5 of 2025 and is sponsored in part by the Philippine Textile Council: Habi and Arthaland.

Along with these unique exhibits SQTM will offer a variety of community programming including introduction to sewing and quilting classes, community storytelling, yoga, and potholder weaving classes for kids. A full list of upcoming classes and programs can be found at sqtmuseum.org/events.

The Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum is located at 306 C Bradley Street, in Carrollton, Georgia. The museum is open Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Regular admission is $5.00, with group discounts available. Support for these exhibits and programs comes in part from the Georgia Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Community Foundation of West Georgia.
