National Quilt Museum offering online subscriptions

PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) — The National Quilt Museum in western Kentucky is now offering online subscriptions. Museum CEO Frank Bennett told The Paducah Sun that Quilt Museum Digital was launched Tuesday as a way to reach quilting and fiber art enthusiasts around the world. Bennett says he felt the move was necessary given the continuing safety protocols due to the coronavirus pandemic. He said the museum in Paducah is getting only about 40% of its normal visitors. The subscription-based service starts out at $8 a month and includes videos of new exhibits as well as supplemental and exclusive materials, such as interviews with artists and curators.
