This spring, thee local elementary and middle school classes in the District of Columbia will have the chance to take a special tour of an upcoming exhibition, and then create a unique piece of textile art to display at The Textile Museum for an entire month. For the sixth year running, The Textile Museum is inviting all 1st to 6th grade public or charter school classes in the District of Columbia to apply for our sixth-annual Museum-School Partnership. Starting in February, The TM will partner with three classes from local schools to learn about The Art of Living: Textile Furnishings from the Permanent Collection (opening February 12, 2010), plan and create a unique textile art project, and exhibit the artwork at the museum during June 2010. Participating classes are also invited to a special recognition ceremony at the annual Celebration of Textiles (June 5 and 6, 2010) – attended by nearly 3,500 people last year.
