VMQG helps Ventura County Celebrate 150th AnniversaryAs part of programs and events celebrating 150 years in Ventura County, VMQG members worked together to create a a tapestry for an exhibit that takes the viewer “on a journey through Ventura County, where they will discover a tapestry of shared experiences and individual stories while exploring the meaning of ‘home’ through the lens of our diverse communities.”
The traveling exhibit entitled “Ventura County, The Place We Call Home” opened on October 21, 2023 at the Santa Paula Agriculture Museum during the Mountain to Sea Jubilee Event and made appearances at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center Thousand Oaks on November 11, 2023, Oxnard College (Condor Hall) on November 27, 2023, and the Rancho Simi Activity Center on December 9, 2023.
Many thanks to Cheryl Collart for involving the modern quilt guild in this exciting project!
