What is your Museum Day?

It's a new way that we honor donors who make a gift of $1000 or more. You pick a day the Museum is open to be your Museum Day – maybe your next birthday or other special occasion.

On your Museum Day you can bring up to 50 friends with you to the Museum free of charge. (We'll even give you special invitations that you can mail to your friends).

You and your friends will all enjoy 20% off at the Museum Store all day.

We will show our appreciation by recognizing you on the Museum website and in the Museum.

Why $1000? The cost of sustaining a professionally-staffed, state-of-the art quilt and textile museum in Silicon Valley is substantial and growing. It costs $1,000 to open and operate the Museum for just one day. That’s not counting specific materials costs associated with a particular public program like Kids Create, our monthly art making and storytelling session for children.

Become our patron for a day and make it your Museum Day!
Note that ‘make a gift’ in the first paragraph above and ‘patron for a day’ links to the Give page.
