Patriots Heart: American Story Quilts

January 5 - February 17, 2026

This stirring exhibition from the Cambridge-based, art-
centered nonprofit Patriots Heart is titled Sacrifice: The Heart of the Military. It pays tribute to the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of United States military personnel across a century of service.

At the heart of the exhibit is the crafted quilt series by Deanne Joy with Elise Sopelle, representing six major conflicts over the past 100 years. Through fabric, color, and texture, these story quilts offer a deeply personal and artistic lens into the lived experiences honoring veterans. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on the diverse aspects of military service.

Complementing the quilts are a series of art posters that feature historical photos, poetry, and contextual information to deepen engagement and inspire dialogue. 

There will not be a reception.
