Holdings include a permanent collection of over 550 quilts, garments and ethnic textiles, emphasizing artists of the 20th- and 21st-century, and a research library with over 500 books concerning the history and techniques of the craft.[2] HistoryThe San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles had its beginnings as the American Museum of Quilts and Related Arts, founded in Los Altos, California by the Santa Clara Valley Quilt Association in 1977. It was incorporated in 1986 as a nonprofit public benefit museum, managed by a board of trustees. It relocated several times until it moved into its {{convert|13000|sqft||abbr=off}} permanent home in San Jose’s SoFA (South First Area) Arts District in 2005.[2] Initially, the Permanent Collection consisted primarily of 19th and 20th century quilts gifted by members of the founding organization. By 1999, the Museum obtained the Porcella Collection of Ethnic Textiles and Garments, increasing its collection by one-third. Today the Permanent Collection holds over 1,500 objects. During the museum's 40th anniversary, it was gifted the Marbaum Collection by Marvin Fletcher and his late wife.[3] ExhibitionsThe Museum provides exhibitions from around the world, focusing on the way people of many cultures use textiles to make their voices heard. Many of the artists on exhibit at the Museum incorporate modern technology into the basic traditions of fiber art. Exhibitions and individual installations typically remain on view 3 months. ProgramsIn its desire to engage with the local community, the Museum has established programs for people to participate in as well as to learn more about quilts and textiles. Some of these programs have been created and operated in-house, such as their free community open houses. Other programs have been created in partnership with artists and other nonprofit organizations.[3] Artist in Residence ProgramThe San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles' Artist in Residence program began in October 2016. It hosts an artist or collaborative group every three months, providing an onsite open studio and exhibition space during their three-month residency in the Museum’s Maker Space and Gallery. For Museum guests, the AIR program offers workshops that teach people various styles and techniques used in textile making.
