The WHMA welcomed contemporary quilts of all kinds, colors, and subject under the theme of Fiber Fusions, allowing all fiber artists to showcase their strongest work. As with all art; composition, color, and design are important towards the creation of a finished work of art. In this exquisite exhibition, fiber and other materials fuse together, through the integration of creative skills and imagination, presenting the artistic expression of each individual art quilter.
Jurors, Wen Redmond and Janice Jones, selected over 60 quilts from over 100 submissions from the United States and Europe, to create an exhibition that varies uniquely in color, theme, composition, and technique.
The Whistler Award, Juror’s Choice Award, and Viewer’s Choice Award will be announced during the opening reception.
