This annual celebration of Gee’s Bend’s generations-old quiltmaking tradition draws fans from around the world to enjoy quilt displays, sales, workshops, guided tours, food, music, and more. Widely recognized as an American cultural treasure, Gee’s Bend quilts have been featured on U.S. postage stamps, exhibited worldwide, and are in the permanent collections of over 40 museums.

As an Airing of the Quilts Festival sponsor, your support will be recognized alongside the community’s renowned history and heritage before a diverse audience that, in 2023, included visitors from 26 states and six countries. Your support is also an investment in the future of Gee’s Bend. It plays a vital role in driving economic growth and creating new opportunities for a community whose contributions to American culture are unparalleled but whose economic opportunities have been limited for generations.

Join us in Gee’s Bend this October and showcase your commitment to celebrating and preserving cultural heritage and uplifting communities.

The Gee’s Bend Airing of the Quilts Festival is organized by the Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy and Souls Grown Deep, both 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Contributions to the Gee’s Bend Airing of the Quilts Festival are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
