The Elliott Museum invites artists and quilters to submit original and historical family pieces to be considered for inclusion in an exhibition featuring modern and historic quilts, contemporary quilt art in non-traditional media (metal, wood, ceramic), wearable art, and art quilts. Focus on new pieces that are stitched art, out-ofthe box, innovative, 3D, and/or family quilts “from the attic” that tell a family or local/regional historical story, made by the artist or a relative of the person submitting the quilt (purchased quilts will not be considered). Designs must be suitable for family viewing. Fiber pieces must include three layers and be held together by stitching. Pieces may have a sleeve to hang, or be framed or on a finished wrapped gallery canvas. Historic quilts must be in good shape to hang for six weeks…
