Join us for the Fall 2026 Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection Community Day!
Once a semester, collection staff host a Community Day where we lead behind-the-scene tours and share information about the Collection. In addition, we offer a limited number of object viewing appointments with staff where members of the public can bring a personal textile to discuss with staff. This event is open to the public and all are welcome. Should you want to schedule an object viewing, please fill of the form below.
