‘This is a civic investment’: San Jose’s quilt museum needs community’s help to survive

A decades old staple in San Jose’s art scene is at risk of closing, so it’s turning to the community for help.

The San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, located in downtown’s SoFA district, has raised enough money to survive until July. After that it’s up to donors, visitors and fans to help raise a total of $300,000 — and the museum is already halfway there.
