This historic location is a public-private museum operated by the City of Ontario with support from the non-profit Museum of History and Art, Ontario Association. The\u00a0museum is known for the outstanding exhibits it promotes, including this upcoming quilt themed event.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to the <em>Quilt Stories From the Inland Empire\u00a0<\/em>will be treated to personal expressions, stories, traditional techniques and contemporary\u00a0themes when they come to view the quilts on exhibit. Not only are the artists representative of\u00a0the Inland Empire, but so are stories of their quilts. Quilts will range in size, color and shape<br \/>along with embellishment, appliqu\u00e9, style and theme. The quilts feature broad themes including\u00a0the geography and history of the inland area as well as personal stories and traditional\u00a0geometric and star patterns. \u00a0This multi-layered exhibit is\u00a0guest curated by artist and quilter Theresa Polley-Shellcroft.\u00a0Polley-Shellcroft has a long history with the museum; she led quilt works in previous years and\u00a0the \u201cFan Faire\u201d workshop in 2005. She teaches Art History and Art Education for Victor Valley\u00a0College, Brandman University and University of Phoenix. Her artwork, quilts and paintings have\u00a0been exhibited across the country at New York City SoHo and Chelsea galleries\u2019; The American\u00a0Folk Art Museum, NYC; The Historical Society of Washington, DC; the National Museum of African History, Ohio; and the Anacostia Museum of African American Culture, Smithsonian\u00a0Institution Washington, DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The museum will be hosting a couple of special events in conjunction with the exhibit.
