Become a kid again—make your own art project, and hear the story behind a unique quilt made of T-shirts, at the Museum of Ventura County during First Fridays Ventura’s evening gallery crawl May 7.

The museum has an active evening planned that night, to coincide with their current exhibit of art quilts. From 6:00 to 6:30 p.m., hear Laura Peck show and talk about the story-quilt she created from souvenir t-shirts she and her husband collected on their travels. From 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., you can join award-winning quilter Pat Masterson in a quilt-inspired art project for adults. Admission to the museum is free.

During First Fridays Ventura on June 4, the museum will again present quilt-inspired art projects for adults.
