New Fall Exhibitions at San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles
From the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles:
Layered & Stitched: 50 Years of Innovative Art (September 22, 2021 – January 2, 2022)
Layered & Stitched: 50 Years of Innovative Art, by Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA), is a showcase of 50 art quilts by renowned master artists around the globe. Seminal works show the evolution of the art quilt from the earliest pioneers to contemporary artists experimenting with new forms, materials, and digital technologies. This exhibition traces the development of this exciting art form as it started with isolated makers, primarily in Ohio and California, into an international movement involving thousands of artists. Featuring a balance of abstract and representational styles, these artworks represent the extraordinary range of talented artists working in contemporary quilt art.
More Impact: Climate Change - Tapestry Weavers West (September 22, 2021 – January 2, 2022)
More Impact: Climate Change, curated by Deborah Corsini and Alex Friedman, features tapestries from members of Tapestry Weavers West that reflect on our changing global environment and the detrimental consequences of climate change, woven in a variety of tapestry techniques and styles.
