Since 2007, Visions has shared the best of textile fine art with enthusiasts and artists from around the world through exhibitions and programs. Now, as we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we proudly add the word “textile” to our name.
We will be rolling out our new name and new logo over the coming weeks. Our website, email addresses, and other communications will get a refresh. We’ll keep you updated! In this transition period, our current contact information will continue to reach us as well. And our phone number and address remain the same!
MISSION
The mission of Visions Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA) is to create an international community of quilt and textile artists, collectors and the public through exhibitions, education, and engaging programs that increase the appreciation of quilts, textiles and fiber as fine art.
HISTORY
Visions Museum of Textile Art 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.
VMOTA now features 20 exhibitions per year including the Online Exhibits, Member Challenges, and the Quilt Visions and Interpretations biennials. The museum also presents lectures and workshops by noted quilt and textile artists.
