Legend Has It Exhibition Reception
June 19 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Legend Has It – Hosted by the School of Art & Design – On view in the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery, June 15 to July 24, 2026.
In celebration of the U.S. 250th anniversary, Legend Has It presents quilts that narrate the history of labor, transportation, commerce, and freedom in Cabell County and nearby areas. Each quilt reflects stories of migration, industry, and resilience, honoring the contributions of women and men who shaped West Virginia’s communities and industries through both historical patterns and contemporary designs.
Earlier this year, the School of Art & Design put out a call for quilts and fiber pieces that captured these themes. After reviewing a wide range of submissions, jurors selected nearly 25 works for this summer’s exhibition in the Carroll Gallery.
Legend Has It will be on view in the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery from June 15 to July 24, 2026, with a public reception on June 19 from 5–7 p.m., during the Downtown Art Walk.
The galleries are free and open to the community Monday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@marshalluartanddesign) to learn more!
