The mission of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is to promote the art, craft and history of quilts and textiles. It is a regular participant South First Fridays, the first Friday of every month from 8pm-11pm.

Its exhibits and programs promote the appreciation of quilts and textiles as art and provide an understanding of their role in the lives of their makers, in cultural traditions, and as historical documents." - http://www.sjquiltmuseum.org/about_us.html
