Exhibits:
The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center has a temporary exhibit space in the main house where approximately eight exhibits are presented each year. Artist talks, workshops and tours are sometimes offered in connection with the exhibitions. Exhibits range from fine arts to history to cultural exhibitions. During the month of December the entire house is decorated for the holidays with an annual two-day open house event on the first full weekend.
The most recent addition for exhibits is the utilization of the art studio as a wall to feature the talented instructors who offer classes to the public in their medium. Current and past student works are also included in the exhibit space.

Two day Quilt Art Workshop with Rita Steffenson
In conjunction with the planned exhibit in June featuring the quilt art by Rita Steffenson, this workshop opportunity is being offered.
Rita Steffenson is an award winning quilt artist whose work has been exhibited in many national and international shows. Her works are all original designs drawn and developed from her own photographs and drawings. Rita quilts each piece with unmarked free-motion machine techniques.
