EXHIBITION THEME   
There is a continuum where beauty and function blend and diverge in the hands of the contemporary artist. Even when traditional materials such as thread, fabric, wood, reed, and paper are used, these artists combine skill, imagination, and vision to meld their materials into compelling and beautiful art which resonates in today’s world.

Artists are invited to participate in this conversation between media to illustrate the continuum between beauty and functionality. Wall-hung (2D and 3D), freestanding, and ceiling-suspended artworks will be considered.

With no theme and expanded size requirements, this is an opportunity to showcase the best in art quilts!

This is a joint exhibition with the National Basketry Organization. Artists who are members of both organizations should be advised that only one piece per artist will be selected by the jurors.
