The Board of Trustees of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles has accepted the challenge of securing a permanent and expanded home for Museum. The completion of the new facility will provide ample exhibition, education, storage, preparation and administrative space to address all essential aspects of professional museum management.
To commemorate the unselfish generosity of its supporters, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles wishes to thank and make a public and enduring record of those who have contributed generously to help expand and strengthen the Museum’s facilities and programs. Accordingly, select exhibit, program and administrative areas within the new Museum have been earmarked for memorial/commemorative purposes. In addition, a handsome donor’s wall will be located prominently in the lobby of the Museum as a permanent reminder, for generations to come, of those donors—giving $5,000 and above—whose interest and generous support have made these new facilities possible. Gifts may be paid over a three-five year period.
The donor’s wall will be inscribed with the donor’s name and either in memory of, or in honor of, as specified by the donor.
