The Virtual Gallery committee is pleased to introduce SAQA's Virtual Gallery Program. For our debut, we created No Limits to showcase the unbounded possibilities of the online format, while presenting the best in art quilts.
The 24 pieces selected make a strong, diverse collection. What our members create is amazing, and the parameters are wide open: an art quilt is “a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched structure.” Within that framework, we looked for artistic intent, successful realization of that intent, and skillful handling of the medium. Above all, we favored pieces that engaged us and lingered in our minds long after we looked at them. We hope you feel the same way.
