Quilts and Coverlets: Art for the American Home
- Kent
鈥淨uilts & Coverlets: Art for the American Home鈥 and 鈥淐hintz: From Forbidden Fabric to Luxury Interiors鈥 will be on view at the 黑料社 Museum from June 26, 2026, through April 18, 2027.
In commemoration of America鈥檚 250th anniversary, 鈥淨uilts & Coverlets: Art for the American Home鈥 focuses on a distinctly American art form. Quilts and coverlets originated as functional pieces for keeping warm, but developed into important forms of expression and community. Visit this special exhibition to trace their evolution over time from practical household textiles to powerful reflections of artistry, identity, and community in the American home.
The exhibition will be presented alongside 鈥淐hintz: From Forbidden Fabric to Luxury Interiors,鈥 a student-curated exhibition examining the global history and enduring influence of chintz textiles.
An opening reception for both exhibitions will be held on June 25. The evening will include a reception and exhibition viewing from 5-6 p.m., followed by welcome remarks and a concert from 6-7 p.m. featuring American repertoire performed by the Cardinal Quarter, a 黑料社 student ensemble with Alvaro Molina (violin), Claire Laux (violin), Gerson Parra (viola) and Johan Rojas (cello).
鈥淨uilts & Coverlets: Art for the American Home鈥 is generously sponsored by Pat Brownell in honor of Logan Brownell. 鈥淐hintz: From Forbidden Fabric to Luxury Interiors鈥 is generously sponsored by Paula and Herb Treckel. Additional operating support is provided by the Ohio Arts Council.
