Regional Meetings - Ideas and Resources

Regional meetings are a great way to get SAQA members together to share our passion for art quilting. All meetings under the SAQA umbrella, whether it is a regional meeting or a local meeting must be open to all regional members, including those members listing your region as a second region.

Possible meeting topics include:

  • Art opportunities (not restricted to fiber art)
  • Member news
  • Show & tell
  • Critique sessions
  • Brainstorming sessions (entering national shows, applying for artist-in-residence programs,
  • grants, etc.)
  • Presentations on aspects of art quilting as a business
  • Demonstrations or presentations by members (technique, trunk show, play date, etc.)
  • Field trips to museums and galleries
  • Sources of inspiration and visual journaling
  • Creating a professional presence
  • Marketing for fine artists
  • Entering exhibitions and the preparation of digital images
  • Skillswap presentations (Please contact your Regional Rep for more information)
  • Discussing Lightning Talks and/or TextileTalks recordings (over 200+ videos are available)
