FWIW: For the past 3 years, the Mathers Museum of World Cultures at Indiana University has served as venue for quilt exhibits produced in conjunction with a national quilt conference held here in Bloomington. These conferences were held during our normally off-peak vistitations [i.e. university summer break], but during those periods our visitation was above the previous normal for those times. Conclusion: Quilting people like quilts. Quilting people visit museums with quilts. Who is it that really cares if it's not "art"? Non-quilters. You got quilts: put 'em up.
