The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum (RMQM) is proud to host an exhibition of modern quilts from a talented group of modern quilters — The Denver Metro Modern Quilt Guild. How New is Modern, an exhibition of quilts designed and created by Denver-area modern quilters, explores well-known and classic designs in unique and unexpected ways. Using quilts from RMQM’s own collection as inspiration, thirty-seven quilts present reimaginations of classic quilt patterns, utilizing bright colors, unusual fabrics, and intricate quilting.
On display from October 23 to February 3, 2018, How New Is Modern will provide all visitors to the museum with a fresh exploration of long favored traditional patterns, encouraging discussion between traditional and modern quilters. Also on display will be a collection of favorite quilts from the Museum’s collection, including the traditional quilts that inspired How New Is Modern.
An opening reception for the exhibit is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, October 27. The reception is open to the public. The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum is open every day: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Come to the premiere of the documentary Help, Hope, Strength on July 17 at 6 p.m. at Foothills Art Center, 809 15th St. and learn about the meaning behind the new mural on north Washington Avenue.
The new 1,000 ft. long mural covers the retaining wall along Washington Avenue between 2nd and 5th streets. This is the product of an 18-month long program that involved Foothills Art Center, Golden High School, Golden Rotary Club, and Denver artist, Jolt.
The new mural reflects mental health issues in our community with an uplifting message about help, hope, and strength. The mural design came from students working along with the artist.
