Works by these artists represent the best in American art quilts today. Curated by Judith Trager, Rooted in Tradition is the first exhibition to tackle the art quilt historically. The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, located in Golden, Colorado, celebrates, educates, and preserves the art and history of American quilts and quilt making, past and present.
