Quilts as Works of ArtThis exhibit, coinciding with National Quilting Month, features works of quilt art from the late 20th Century to today, by members of Brandywine Valley Quilters, a local quilt guild established in 1987 and based in Concordville, Pennsylvania.
We are pleased to share with you some of the many styles and techniques that make quilts Works of Art. We hope you enjoy this exhibit and encourage you to appreciate these works of art, as well as all forms of art! For this exhibit, we canvassed our guild members to submit quilts that go beyond what you might think of as a traditional quilt. |
These submissions might include innovative takes on classic blocks or patterns, free-form expressions, or an abstract or improv design. A prevailing theme among the artists' descriptions is the integration of inspiration with newly acquired techniques.
We owe much to instructors who create opportunities for expanding self-expression. It is our hope that the examples presented in this exhibit will significantly enhance your appreciation of quilting as an art form and inspire you in your pursuit of various artistic mediums.
