The 2026 Artist Quilt Project honored outgoing Executive Director Andrea Grover after ten years of service to Guild Hall. 81 artists and 14 Guild Hall staff members participated by creating custom 12″ x 12″ fabric squares to be fashioned into a quilt. With so many artists involved, two quilts were created – The Blue Quilt and The Quilt of Many Colors. Both were presented as a surprise gift to Andrea Grover at the 2026 Summer Gala.
The purchase of the commemorative 2026 Artist Quilt Project book benefits Guild Hall in honor of Andrea Grover.
