Jurying Philosophy
We define a work of art as a work that is in some way extraordinary.
It is expressive and invites us to see ourselves and the world anew.
It inspires us in a new way.
We want the best in quiltmaking today.
We want the public to see a range of quilts, some that perhaps may
initially "feel" familiar and also those that will make them
stop and think, evoke an emotion, create an opinion. We want quilts
that derive from the necessity to communicate - that speak from the
soul of the quiltmaker.
We want quilts that flow with color, sparkle with excitement, those
that make visual impacts, and those that are so subtle that one must
look closely to see unusual use of fabric, high technical skills and
other marvelous effects used to create the design.
We want all those wonderful, incredible quilts that express the quiltmaker's
creativity. We want an exhibit that compels the viewer to return for
more than one look.
