A beautiful contemporary gallery featuring quilted textiles from all over the world with a rotating exhibit theme. Visions Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA) celebrates and shares with the public the rich history, artistry, and cultural significance of quilting and textile art.
Visions Museum of Textile Art began as Quilt San Diego, a non-profit arts organization founded in 1985 to promote contemporary quilt making as fine art. The organization’s mission was to present the prestigious, international, juried Quilt Visions biennial which was hosted at various museums in the San Diego area. In 2007, volunteers organized a community build and created our permanent location in the arts district at Liberty Station in San Diego, California.
VMOTA now features 20 exhibitions per year including the Online Exhibits, Member Challenges, and the Quilt Visions and Interpretations biennials. The museum also presents lectures and workshops by noted quilt and textile artists. Click here to view all our current exhibitions and don’t forget to view our Events Calendar!

Rocks, Water, and Reflections / January 11 – April 26, 2025

The pieces in this series usually have some or all of the elements of the title. Things like textured moss-covered rocks and reflections add to the interest. Read more…
