Visions Museum of Textile Art

Visions Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA) celebrates and shares with the public the rich history, artistry, and cultural significance of quilting and textile arts. We provide a welcoming and inclusive space where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can explore, appreciate, and engage with the beauty and craftsmanship of textile art. VMOTA features 20 exhibitions per year including online exhibitions, Member Challenges, and the Quilt Visions and Interpretations biennials, as well as lectures and workshops by noted quilt and textile artists.

HISTORY
VMOTA began as Quilt San Diego, a non-profit arts organization founded in 1985 to promote contemporary quilt making as fine art. The organization’s mission was to present the prestigious, international, juried Quilt Visions biennial which was hosted at various museums in the San Diego area. In 2007, volunteers organized a community build and created our permanent location in the arts district at Liberty Station in San Diego, California.
