One of the most powerful ways you can take an active role in politics is by voting.
Your votes reveal your values - what you consider to be most important in your
life and in the lives of people in your community. This exhibition is organized
around ongoing national conversations that explore connections between the values
we maintain and how those values influence our voting. The ideas that resonate
in this exhibition are meant to empower visitors to make their voices heard in
the democratic process.

This installation features two innovative textile art projects that give visual
and tangible presence to our warming world at a crucial moment of environmental
precariousness. By translating temperature, precipitation, humidity, or windspeed
data into stitch and color, these vibrant works potently and poignantly reveal
the centrality of weather to notions of identity and experiences of place, and
thus “map” a range of encounters from environmental to phenomenological.
Be part of our inner circle. Friends of the Art Museum enjoy members-only opportunities.
Donations support a robust schedule of exhibitions, programs, and events at the Art Museum.
Jools Gilson is an artist, writer, and educator based in Cork, Ireland. In 2005, she embarked on an ambitious project called “The Knitting Map,” in which she worked with collaborator Richard Povall and thousands of community volunteers to create a monumental, knitted installation that documents key elements of climate and population density in Cork. The “Knitting Map” is on display at the Art Museum of West Virginia University from August 30-December 15, 2024, and Gilson’s lecture will reveal details about its creation and ongoing significance.
Bring gently used, clean clothing to swap and share. Each article of clothing you bring earns you one ticket to take home a new-to-you item. If you forget to bring anything, you can purchase tickets for $5 each.
Once you’ve found your new clothing treasure, stay for a special event with visiting artist Jools Gilson of Cork, Ireland. Gilson will lead a relaxed and friendly workshop about how fabric moves us, connects us, and brings us joy. We’ll share these textile tales over pizza and light refreshments.
