| California Art
Quilts brought together work from 30 members of
Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) to show the
cutting edge of fiber art in California.
SAQA artists pursue their own unique visions
through the medium of fabric. Some make abstract
pieces that capture mood and flow, others engage
with environmental concerns; some use humor;
others layer images and symbols in their work.
Quilts embody particular times and places, and
quilts made in California today show California
as vibrant and truly innovative.
The exhibition was juried by acclaimed curator Sandi
Fox, Collection Curator, Quilts, Los
Angeles County Museum of Art (retired) and Michael
Trotter, Curator, California Heritage
Museum.
