CHARLESTON -- The West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture and History and West Virginia Archives and History are hosting "Piecing Together Community," a vibrant exhibition that opened on June 17 in the Archives and History Reading Room at the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex.
"The exhibit celebrates the powerful role quilting plays in building, preserving, and honoring community," WVDACH stated in a news release. "Quilts tell stories, and this summer, theyÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥™re telling ours."
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
This exhibit invites visitors to experience quilts not only as art, but also as acts of connection.
"Quilts have always been more than just fabric and thread. They are social documents. They carry the fingerprints of families, neighborhoods and movements,"Â WVDACH stated.Â
Ranging from historical artifacts to contemporary creations, ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥œPiecing Together CommunityÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ showcases quilts as vessels of collective memory, healing, and hope. The exhibition features interviews and photographs of local artists and community groups, as well as materials from past quilt shows held at the West Virginia Culture Center and patterns from various sources.
"Piecing Together Community" is on display until Sept. 22 at the Archives and History Reading Room, and is available during The Culture CenterÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥™s regular operating hours of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Visitors can also view the departmentÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥™s annual Quilt and Wall Hanging Juried Exhibition, located in the Culture CenterÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥™s Great Hall. This exhibition is in its 44th year and features contemporary quilts made by West Virginia quilters from across the state. The exhibit will be on display until Sept. 13, 2025.
