Join us on Saturday, June 13th from 2-4pm for the opening reception of Art Quilters Celebrate Independence, on view through August 29th.
Art Quilters Celebrate Independence is a juried, touring exhibition featuring artwork by Studio Art Quilt Associates of Pennsylvania (SAQA-PA) created in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States. The exhibition premieres in Philadelphia --- cradle of liberty and birthplace of our democracy, at Moore College of Art & Design during the summer of 2026, and will then travel to three additional prestigious venues in eastern Pennsylvania. Thirty-nine innovative art quilts explore the broad meaning of independence and freedom of expression, including reflections on democratic values and human rights in America today. While each work connects to the nation’s storied past, the exhibition also highlights bold conceptual and technical departures from tradition, affirming the art quilt as a dynamic and evolving fine art medium.
