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.
Object viewing appointments are now full. If you would like a tour, please register below.
