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.
