SAQA was invited to participate at the 2024 Philadelphia Museum of Art Contemporary Craft Show. Now in its 48th year, the Philadelphia Museum of Art Contemporary Craft Show features unique, one-of-a-kind works by artists from across the United States.
Art quilts are the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern expression. With exquisite handwork and cutting-edge techniques, art quilters are pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. This collection was juried by Bruce Hoffman, Executive Artistic Director at Gravers Lane Gallery. The exhibition includes a variety of art quilts by SAQA members across the United States. We are proud to showcase this selection of work, which represents some of the finest art quilts being made today.
