Art Quilts Maine Exhibit

December through January

Quilt by Brenda Saller

Visit the Children’s Library this winter for a cozy and colorful exhibit from Art Quilts Maine! This annual textile arts exhibit brings beautiful handmade quilts to the Downtown Library for all to see and enjoy. This year’s exhibit is inspired by global fabric traditions.

The annual Art Quilts Maine exhibit returns to the Portland Public Library for another year of unique and beautiful quilts crafted by Maine quilters. This exhibit will be on display Downtown in the Children’s Library. The Art Quilts Maine exhibit is free and open to the public during the library’s normal hours of operation.

About the Children’s Library at PPL: The Children’s Library is located at the Downtown Library on Monument Square. Our staff specialize in serving children from infancy through age 12 and their families/caregivers. We have cozy beanbags, reading nooks, stroller parking, and family restrooms. We offer programming for children year-round, from story time and summer reading to make-and-take craft kits. Everyone is welcome to view the Art Quilts Exhibit, but we kindly request you remember our space if primarily for children and their caregivers. We host Storytime on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10:30-11:00 AM in the same area where the quilts are hung. Please arrange your visit around these scheduled programs so that you can fully enjoy the quilts. All PPL programs and services are free and open to the public.

If you have questions, please contact the library’s Director of Youth Services or Art Quilts Maine.
