SAQA Broad Spectrum: Abundant Palette
April 22 to July 19, 2025.     Main Gallery

Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc. (SAQA) defines an art quilt as ‘a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure.’

The Montana / Idaho region of SAQA artists were invited to explore the variety of meanings, images and experiences evoked by the theme Broad Spectrum: Abundant Palette. This exhibit includes 34 works by 28 artists chosen by a single juror in a blind process. Using only photographs and the artist statements, the juror selected works that she determined met the theme, and appeared to show mastery of techniques and expert craftsmanship.

Colorado Japanese American Women's Quilt Project
April 22 to July 19, 2025.     Northeast Gallery

In 1995, 3 Nisei (2nd generation) Denver women visited the Smithsonian’s touring exhibit of early American quilts. After the visit, these 3 women initiated a similar project to tell the Colorado Japanese American women’s story through the creation of quilts.

This project was initially shown with the Smithsonian Exhibit “Strength and Diversity: Japanese American Women 1885-1990 at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in Arvada, CO from Nov 1995-Jan. 1996.

90 women created 9 quilts telling stories of 72 families. Through the use of a variety of materials and designs, each quilt represents a culturally rich depiction of heritage, daily life, and family journeys, providing a tangible story of the experiences across generations of women of Japanese ancestry in Colorado and neighboring states. The quilts reflect the strength and diversity of Japanese women through their life’s journeys as they raised their families. The choice of quilts as the medium of expression, was to recognize that women have sewn throughout the ages, creating clothing and objects of daily usage for their families, and also used sewing and stitchery as a means of creative expression. The quilt panels were designed to resemble Japanese scrolls traditionally displayed in a place of honor and represent the roots of the women.



Sunday at the Museum - May 4th
A Panel from the Colorado Japanese American Women’s Quilt Project 

Honoring the experiences of Japanese American Women who have been part of        Colorado’s story through some of the toughest times of World history, the women who participated in this project included women throughout Colorado and Nebraska.  They will share about their families lives, specifically the challenges of Japanese women's lives in rural and urban settings, often tinged with memories of the unjust WWII incarceration and then un-named struggle with post-traumatic stress and their search for identity with the land of their parents and grandparents’ birth.


Pre-Registration is required.
