2025 Community Quilt & Fiber Arts Exhibition
For more than two decades, The Art Center has proudly hosted the annual Community Quilt & Fiber Arts Exhibition, a true celebration of creativity, tradition, and community spirit. This year’s exhibition highlights a diverse collection of art quilts and fiber works created by member artists of the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association together with talented community participants.
