April 5 – December 1
Billings Farm & Museum is bringing the rural artistry of barn quilts to our scenic site. Barn quilting recreates the concept of quilt squares on durable mediums such as plywood. These squares, often 4 feet by 4 feet or larger, feature striking colors and simple geometric designs.
The exhibition is a collaboration with Vermont artists as well as artisans from the Chelsea Barn Quilt Project and Barn Quilts of Northern Vermont who have been working to highlight barn quilting in Vermont.
Guests can wander through Billings Farm and take in the boldly painted patterns that adorn our historic barns and buildings. Each space will host a uniquely crafted piece inspired by nature, math, agriculture, and the history of the Billings Farm site. Included with admission.
