The New Quilt 2021: Announcement of Selected Artists

After years of planning, QuiltNSW is excited to relaunch The New Quilt on exhibition at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, Windsor, NSW from 5 February – 11 April 2021.

The New Quilt is a juried survey exhibition showcasing the art of quilting that reflects the richness and diversity of contemporary expressions of the quilt medium in Australia.

The call for entries encouraged entrants to: submit their best work reflecting their creative practice; “Think big, think bold – be adventurous!”; and to explore different ways of presenting their work. A panel, comprised of artists Judy Hooworth and Anna Brown and Hawkesbury Regional Gallery curator Elissa Blair, selected 40 works from over 100 entries.
