Quintessential Quilts - Documentary Film Series at The Danbury Museum

Beat the summer heat and join us for the first documentary film being shown in conjunction with our current exhibit!

America Quilts celebrates the artists, the quilts and the powerful stories woven into them. This program examines quilts from three perspectives—as historical records, symbols of family and community, and works of art.
A stunning kaleidoscope of colors and patterns reflects the variety and intensity of this art form, and the artists who created them are as varied as the patterns in their quilts.

Quilts cross the barriers of class, age, and ethnicity.They are tangible, tactile records of life in America. Every quilt has its story, reflecting the personality and passion of its maker. Each day the stories continue—a quilt is completed, another is begun and a centuries-old tradition continues.

This event is FREE & Open to the Public.
