2nd Inland Northwest Modern Quilt Exhibition

This display features quilts produced recently by members of the Inland Northwest Modern Quilt Guild (INMOD). In 2023, the museum hosted the Inland Northwest Modern Quilt Juried Exhibition featuring 20 quilts selected by the museum staff. In this exhibition, INMOD, to showcase the work of the guild and its members, has chosen objects based upon artistic quality, merit, and the visual aesthetics of modern quilting. Founded in January 2016 in Spokane, INMOD exists “to support, encourage, and inspire the growth and development of modern quilting through art, education, and community”

Freedom: Permanent Collection on the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

In celebration and recognition of the 250th anniversary, on July 4, 2026, of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the museum has selected objects from its permanent collection where the individual artists connect images to the idea of “freedom,” and its common synonym “liberty.” The Declaration of Independence lists liberty among inalienable rights; the Constitution declares its purpose to secure liberty’s blessings.
