Who Are We?

What is Our Mission?

The Museum hopes to fulfill the artist's vision by placing a stack of
"Children's Quilts" at the end of the exhibit that is intended to
provide the children of today with comfort and joy. Museum visitors and
scheduled school tours will have the opportunity to pass on a quilt to a
child in need and challenged to consider the questions:

Who would benefit most from one of these quilts?
What suffering exists in our world today?
And how can I make a difference in the life of a child?

Volunteers are needed to produce these quilts to accompany the
exhibition. During the course of the show over 200 classrooms will
visit the museum and each will receive one quilt as long as the supply
lasts. Educators/Chaperones will receive a lesson plan to help engage
the students in a dialogue about who is in need, what suffering children
are enduring today, and what agencies/organizations, provide help and relief
to children. The students will then decide what special child will
receive it. This will take the message of caring for the children of
today out of the museum into the school environment.
