Exhibits change often at the Longmont Museum – cars, quilts, kimonos, and sugar skulls are just a sample of this year’s exhibits.

Don’t Fence Me In
March 22 – May 18, 2008

The American West and quilts have always gone together – but never quite like this. The Longmont Museum is proud to present Don’t Fence Me In: Contemporary Quilts, from March 22 to May 18, 2008. These contemporary quilts by two quilting groups, northern Colorado’s the Piecemakers, and Denver-based Quilt Explorations, take a decidedly modern look at the icons of the West. Sixty-five quilts appear in this show, each of which tells, in its own way, a story of the West. Using contemporary themes like abandonment and open space, and unusual techniques like burying fabric, Don’t Fence Me In explores new vistas in the American West.

Seven fee-based public programs accompany Don't Fence Me In. Join the Friends now for discounts to all of them.

Don’t Fence Me In is the newest outstanding exhibit on the Longmont Museum’s exhibit schedule. .
