We foster community through online and local connections. Our members host local meetups, workshops, exhibitions, and retreats with others in their regions.
Our Live Chats and Special Interest Groups allow members to meet virtually using video-conferencing to discuss and learn about specific art quilt topics. We also have a thriving members-only Facebook group where we talk about art, our creative journeys, and what inspires us.
Come share your artwork, ask your questions, and make new friends around the world!
