COVID-19 Response |
In support of the National, State, Regional, and local effort to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, we closed to the public beginning March 18 and remain closed until further notice. Skagit County is in Phase Two of the State's re-opening plan; museums are in Phase Three of this plan. We strongly support these preventative actions to ensure the safety of our community.
Thank you for your support and understanding. We look forward to seeing you all again soon! |
Are you missing the Museum and Fiber Friday?
We've been missing you, too! The Museum has begun hosting a Virtual Fiber Friday on Zoom each week at 10:00AM PST for one hour. Zoom offers a free, easy online way to meet and share what we're working on, chat about what's going on in the world, check in on everyone's welfare, and have a bit of fun! If you'd like to receive an invitation to Fiber Fridays, send an email to amy@qfamuseum.org

Although we are not able to open to the public, we are are offering our members the opportunity to privately tour the exhibits under very safe restrictions. Check your email for your "members only" invite! Not a member? Join now to see our new exhibits!

Even though the main event was cancelled, we still want you to submit* your 2020 Festival Challenge Kit piece, based on the theme, "Women's Suffrage 100 Year Anniversary!" Pieces are due to the Museum by August 18 and will be exhibited beginning September 2. Visitors will vote on their favorite - the only "Festival" award we will still grant this year! We can't wait to see what you've done!
* Be sure to include the entry form included in your challenge packet when sending in your entry. Or download form here.
