I'm off to Indianapolis this afternoon for the opening of the SAQA-sponsored exhibit, "Dialogues," in which artists were asked for new interpretations of the century-old applique quilts by Marie Wilson in the permanent collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I have a piece in the exhibit, and will also be on a panel discussion as part of the opening festivities.
IMA is a big-time art museum and it's exciting to see that SAQA's focus on getting art venues for its exhibits in addition to the usual quilt shows is paying off. I've heard wonderful things about the "Stories of Migration" exhibit at the National Textile Museum in Washington DC, and I hope the IMA show will be as well received.
I'll take notes and pictures and report back! Meanwhile, here's my quilt from the exhibit:
This is a really great quilt. So inspirational.
