Continuum: Quilts x Fiber Open Call (Due Sept. 30)
Continuum: Quilts x Fiber Open Call
Deadline: September 30th, 20266
CONTINUUM: Quilts X Fiber will be a definitive statement; a celebration of quilts as art, as craft, as memory, as innovation, and as a limitless form of human expression. This exhibition will reveal that the quilt, long seen as a single category, is in truth a dynamic, an ever-expanding continuum—one enriched by fiber art, mixed media, technology, cultural exchange, and the daring of artists who refuse to be confined by definitions.
From traditional bed quilts to three-dimensional mixed-media works, CONTINUUM will celebrate the infinite ways artists and makers use fiber and fiber-adjacent materials to tell stories and create visionary art. This exhibition will not be a single aesthetic, region, or lineage, but the entire spectrum of quiltmaking. From heritage techniques to experimental materials, from functional to conceptual, from hand-sewn to digitally engineered, we want to see it all.
The exhibition will be juried by a panel of jurors: Jacob Hashimoto, Kenny Nguyen, and Victoria Findlay Wolfe, and will be featured in an online exhibition hosted by SAQA. Selected artwork will be eligible for an on-site exhibition at the International Quilt Museum in 2028.
