On October 2, a new exhibit will open at Seattle’s Burke Museum, *Weaving Heritage: Textile Masterpieces from the Burke Collection*. This first major exhibition of the museum’s international textile collection will display hand-woven masterpieces from the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. *Weaving Heritage* will provide museum visitors with a rare opportunity to see outstanding examples of traditional textile arts, to appreciate the skill involved in making them, and to learn about their cultural importance.

Sincerely,
