SAQA International Quilting Exhibition
At Gadsden Arts Center & Museum
September 20 – December 14, 2024
Tuesdays – Saturdays; 10:00–5:00
Organized by Studio Art Quilt Associates
Sara May Love Gallery
Curated by Martha Sielman, Executive Director of Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc., this exhibition includes works of art by fiber artists working in over 16 countries ranging from Iceland to Japan, and 13 U.S. States, ranging from Florida to California. Sielman invited “artists around the globe [to] respond to the birds they admire in myriad ways using a wide variety of materials and techniques.” In the hands of these master artists, the humblest materials, such as thread, paper, and fabric, go through an alchemical transformation into incredible art. The mixed media exhibition presents the familiarity of birds while also displaying them as creatures worth our admiration, allowing us to dream that we too, can take flight.
