“Quilts & Coverlets: Art for the American Home” at The Kent State University Museum
This museum exhibition celebrates the artistry and history of American quilts and coverlets—handmade textiles that blend practical craftsmanship with creative design. Families can explore how quilts tell stories about American life, culture, and family traditions across different time periods. It's a wonderful opportunity for visitors of all ages to appreciate the skill, patience, and artistry involved in these works, and to see how textiles have been central to home life throughout history. Kids often enjoy the hands-on appreciation of color, pattern, and the human effort behind each piece.
