Full disclosure – I was hiding those turkey rocks in Emerson Park in Auburn, New York the other day and there was no bathroom there.  I was all – maybe I can drive over to the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center and use the restroom there?

I parked the car across the street and almost peed my pants because I thought it wasn’t open.  There is scaffolding everywhere.  The gallery is undergoing a huge renovation.  Luckily, it was open.

And luckier still, I have a membership card.  So after that mini drama, I was treated to this technicolor array of internationally produced quilts.  The Quilts=Art=Quilts 2024 exhibition is on display and will be up through January 5, 2025.

It is spectacularly colorful.  These large scale function-to-decorative objects brilliantly fill the walls and I must say these photographs do not do this show justice.  They are stunning in person or as my Mom always says, they are “Wow-ie!!!” !!!

The Schweinfurth is located at 205 Genesee Street, Auburn, NY 13021.

Gallery hours:  Wednesday-Saturday 10am-5pm and Sundays 1-5pm.
