Visions Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA) engages diverse communities through culturally responsive exhibitions, educational programs, and partnerships that celebrate heritage, identity, and innovation in textile art. Our curatorial team presents simultaneous exhibitions featuring 100+ local, national, and international artists annually, exploring themes such as immigration, sustainability, and social issues that impact underrepresented communities. Programs are shaped in collaboration with cultural organizations to reflect the lived experiences of those we serve. VMOTA provides hands-on textile art experiences for students from Title I schools (700 students to date), introducing self-expression and creative career pathways to arts to youth facing economic barriers. VMOTA uses textile art as a tool for dialogue, cultural exchange, and storytelling, ensuring our exhibitions and programs are not only accessible, but deeply relevant. CAC funds will support curatorial/programming staff salaries and gallery rent.
