Art, 11:00 AM

Quiltmaking is Ben Millett's creative outlet outside his work at an agriculture company in Des Moines, Iowa. He employs personal color palettes in quilts to examine nuances of Queer identity, pop culture, and quiltmaking itself. Turning digital concepts into a physical reality with fabric and thread, he creates to play, to communicate ideas, to further the gay agenda, to make what he wants to see. His work has been exhibited around the world, including the Des Moines Art Center in 2025, and is held in private and public collections.
