Students in the Art II Design class at Staples-Motley High School made barn quilts for businesses and non-profits in the area. Businesses purchased the barn quilts and non-profits received them through a grant from the Staples Motley Area Arts Council and, by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Fund. An art display of the finished quilts was held on March 18, 2017 at Centennial Auditorium in Staples.
