Sew to Speak: The SAQA Tri-Regional Exhibition
On View: 09 March–21 April
Kay Gallery
BlackRock Center for the Arts
Germantown, Maryland
In conjunction with “Sewing: Mastery and Meaning” at the DAR Museum in Washington, DC, Sew to Speak, will take place at BlackRock Center for the Arts during National Women’s History Month.
The exhibition explores ideas of meaning in textile art by exploring how contemporary art quilters express themselves in their work. In addition to juried work by SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) members from the mid-Atlantic area (Delaware, DC, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina), the exhibition includes several works by jurors the Pixeladies (@pixeladies) and Deb Cashatt (@debcashatt) that express political and social justice messages.
Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc. (SAQA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt: “a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure.” Over the past 30 years, SAQA has grown into a dynamic and active community of over 4,000 artists, curators, collectors, and art professionals located around the world. With our exhibitions, resources, publications, and membership opportunities, we seek to increase the public’s appreciation for the art quilt and to support our members in their artistic and professional growth.
