Studio Art Quilt Associates of Pennsylvania

Our juried, touring exhibition features artwork by Studio Art Quilt Associates of Pennsylvania (SAQA-PA) in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States. It premieres in Philadelphia, the cradle of liberty and the birthplace of our democracy, at Moore College of Art & Design, June 13 to August 29, and then travels to three other prestigious venues, ending May 23, 2027 at the Reading Public Museum. Thirty-nine innovative art quilts and quilted artworks explore the broad meaning of independence and freedom of expression, including deep concerns for our democratic values and human rights in our country today. All artworks connect with America's storied past, yet exemplify exciting conceptual and technical departures from tradition that herald the art quilt as a fine art medium.
