The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive is preparing to showcase a unique exhibition of historic quilts, yet faces a critical funding crisis following a loss of $260,000 in federal support. This funding was primarily allocated for the preservation of these fragile artifacts, some of which trace back to the 1860s. Without alternative funding sources, the museum warns that it may not be able to maintain the quilts after December, indicating a pressing need for financial support to protect these important cultural items.
