This exhibition highlights a unique connection between Island Heights and Guatemala. Chase Davis, long-time Island Heights resident and Friends of the Ixchel Museum board member, made the introduction to the John F. Peto Studio Museum. This exhibit has been two years in the making and we are so happy to finally be hosting this unique collection of textiles.

Your tour will also include Peto's Permanent Collection and a Pop-Up exhibit titled " In a Word."   In a Word focuses on the impact of words that hold personal meaning and reflect their purpose.  Through embroidered or embellished words, Artists from MOVIS have contributed to a collective tapestry that promotes unity and the power of intentional language. Each piece is both a standalone statement and part of a larger, unified expression of positivity and purpose.
