Mission Statement:
The mission of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is to promote the art, craft and history of quilts and textiles.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Textile art transcends cultural, ethnic, age and gender boundaries and encompasses traditional as well as contemporary forms. The museum provides a serious venue for all artists working with textiles, filling a void left by larger institutions with a narrower view of what defines artistic expression. Its exhibits and programs promote the appreciation of quilts and textiles as art and provide an understanding of their role in the lives of their makers, in cultural traditions, and as historical documents.

Education Outreach Docent
We need volunteers that have experience with children to go to local schools and do presentations in second grade classrooms and some times fifth grade classrooms. You do not need prior experience teaching but you should be able to feel comfortable presenting to children in a classroom, and be able to provide your own transportation to school sites. We ask a minimum commitment of at least one day per month (usually 3 class visits). For more information about becoming an Educational Outreach volunteer, contact Sylvia Carroll at 408.293.3787.
