The mission of Visions Art Museum is to create an international community of quilt and textile artists, collectors and the public through exhibitions, education, and engaging programs that increase the appreciation of quilts, textiles and fiber as fine art.

Visions Art Museum: Contemporary Quilts + Textiles began as Quilt San Diego, a non-profit arts organization founded in 1985 to promote contemporary quilt making as fine art. Until 2007 when volunteers organized a community build and created our permanent location in the arts district at Liberty Station in San Diego, California, the organization’s only mission was to present the prestigious, international, juried biennial, Quilt Visions, hosted at other museums in the San Diego area.

Visions Art Museum: Contemporary Quilts + Textiles 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.
