QuiltArt, an exhibiting group of 16 textile artists from Britain, Europe and the United States, was founded over thirty years ago. Individual members consistently exhibit in international juried and curated textile and fibre art shows. Many have works in public and private collections and are well-known authors and teachers. ‘Material Evidence’ This exhibition celebrates the adventurous spirit and rich heritage of women artists who make art through quilting and textiles, and in particular that of our pioneering and influential founder member Mary Fogg, who died in 2016 at the age of 95. Each member of the group will take a unique approach to her legacy to create exciting, cutting-edge work which aims to transcend people’s ideas of what a ‘quilt’ is. A smaller related exhibition entitled Traces will also be touring in 2019-22. The exhibitions is accompanied by a book showcasing all the works. If you want to read more about our past exhibitions you can find articles from different magazines right here. Founded in 1985, QUILT ART aims to extend the boundaries of quilting as an artistic medium and achieve wider recognition of the quilt as an art form. A number of members are also working in the field of mixed media. The group holds regular touring exhibitions in Britain and Europe and has also exhibited in Japan, Canada and Russia. To accompany each exhibition, the group publishes a high quality book. QUILT ART strives to maintain its unique reputation for integrity of expression and quality of craftsmanship. Each member brings a distinctive approach and the work is diverse, dynamic and sometimes challenging. Professional standards are expected, both from the individual artists and as an organisation dealing with administration and liaising with galleries and the press. 'The Quilt Art group's international membership results in work ranging from responses to time, place and politics to formal explorations of colour, pattern and process. What unites them is a self-assurance in what they do.' Dr Susan Marks. ‘The consistently original work that they have created over the years sets them apart both as individuals and as a group.’ Robert Shaw, Vermont, USA. ARTES Magazine, a web based Fine Art magazine has an article about us in connection to Quilt Art, International Expressions touring the United States. Other articles about QA can be seen here. |
