Community Apron Maker Exhibit

On view through September, 2026

What a talented community we have! Stop in to see our Community Apron Maker Exhibit, located in the museum lobby. Inspired by the “Hostess with the Mostest: The Art Making Much with What’s at Hand” special exhibition now on view, local apron makers applied their skills to create a wonderful assortment of half- and bib-aprons. From heirloom embroidered pillow cases to worn out sails and embellished berry stains, these aprons embody the art of “making much with what’s at hand.”

Stop by to see the aprons in person, then vote for your favorite in our People’s Choice contest. It’s a tough choice for sure!

Each apron is a unique work of clever craftsmanship, art, and vision.
