SAQA’s exhibition Layered & Stitched: 50 Years of Innovative Art at IQF/Houston. The exhibition brings together seminal pieces from the 1960s through today. Together, the works make it clear that experimentation has always guided the evolution of the art quilt, as has the drive for the work to be recognized as a fine art medium.

Today, artists continue to push boundaries, working with new forms, materials, and digital technologies to create imaginative new work. Increasingly, art quilts are exhibited in fine art museums and major venues around the world. Learn how this art form developed from work created by isolated makers, primarily located in Ohio and California, into today’s international movement supported by thousands of artists worldwide.
