European Art Quilts V at the National Quilt Museum

The National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky is featuring the exhibit "European Art Quilts V" until August 10, 2009.

On exhibit May 22 - August 10, 2009

Visitors will journey overseas into the minds of the European artists featured in the provocative exhibit European Art Quilts V.

Representing the best art quilters from across Europe, this exhibit is meant to initiate discussions on current affairs around the world. The ingredients for these quilts include materials determined by the availability and traditions in the different countries. The artists have used different materials to express their feelings on a variety of themes.

Organized by the European Art Quilt Foundation and juried by an international panel, this biannual exhibit was established on private initiative to promote art quilting as a form of modern art. One of the aims of the Foundation is to provide a platform for interesting discussions. The exhibition will be travelling around the world to museum and gallery venues in Korea, the Netherlands, USA, Denmark and Germany.
