## About This Program

> "Quilt making as fine art — originality, strong design and visual impact"

### Opportunity Summary

We invite artists working in the medium of quilt making to submit work for the inaugural Fine Arts Quilts exhibition celebrating the artistic and expressive potential of quilts. This juried show seeks quilts that demonstrate originality, strong design and the visual impact of fine art–beauty for its own sake.

Whether abstract or representational, minimalist or intricate, entries should showcase quilting as a serious art form. Traditional techniques are welcome if presented in innovative ways. All entries must be original compositions and may include mixed media, surface design, or unconventional materials.

Best of Show may be presented the opportunity to have  a future solo show at the Loewen Studio & Gallery.

The People's Choice award is $500. This will be voted on by in person gallery visitors. One vote per visitor.

Join us in honoring and promoting the quilt as a canvas for artistic expression.
