We’re excited to participate in this year’s GiveBIG campaign with a goal of raising $20,000 to support important facility updates to the Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum.

Your gift—of any size—directly strengthens the Museum’s ability to present exhibitions, steward our collection, and provide meaningful programs for artists, students, and visitors. If the Museum has inspired you, taught you something new, or connected you to the power of fiber art, we hope you’ll consider making a gift during the Big Give.

Together, we can ensure the Museum continues to thrive! Visit our website, www.qfamuseum.org to contribute!
