This year's Festival exhibition will include a special presentation of quilts and textiles from a recent gift to the Museum by American Canadian Jim Erickson, Academy Award-winning movie set decorator. Jim traveled all around the world while pursuing his career and began to collect quilts and textiles from many of the places he visited, many of which he has generously donated to the Museum’s permanent collection. Jim won the Academy Award for Best Production Design for his work in Lincoln and was nominated for at least 11 other awards throughout his career, including There Will Be Blood and Hemingway & Gellhorn. Altogether Jim has worked on thirty-five feature films and several television movies. In 2013 he was awarded the Earl Cooperman Lifetime Achievement Award by the Set Decorators Society of America. Be one of the first to see pieces from this collection!
