Regeneration: Contemporary Quilt Textiles 2012

Manly Art Gallery and Museum 27 April - 4 June 2012

A collaboration between The Quilters' Guild of NSW Inc. and Manly Art Gallery and Museum

The New Quilt exhibition has been hosted by Manly Art Gallery and Museum in collaboration with the Guild for the past twenty years. For the twenty first year, it was agreed that a new vision for the exhibition be achieved. To this end, a decision was made to have a curated, themed exhibition with specific, visual selection criteria as the basis of being accepted into the exhibition. This is a move away from the past and it is hoped that it will offer opportunities for all textile artists to enter a quilt.

Selection criteria

1. All quilts must be proposed new work.
2. A 100 - 150 word statement, outlining the artist's response to the theme, "Regeneration".
3. Details of the design progression and colours, including sketches and drawings.
4. Up to five (5) images of previous works.
5. Materials to be used.
6. Dimensions of the work.
