Cottonwood by Gale Oppenheim is one of the art quilts that will be on
exhibit Aug. 3 at Hip Stitch, as part of the ARTSCrawl program. |
Using color, shapes, textiles and surface
treatments, art quilts express a diverse range of emotions, opinions and
stories. See some of those art quilt “stories” in a display from 5 pm to 8 pm on
Friday, Aug. 3, at Hip Stitch, 2320 Wisconsin NE, as part of the ARTSCrawl
program. The art quilts were created by members of the local Studio Art Quilt
Associates (SAQA) chapter, and include selections from the recent SAQA show, Life Along the Rio Grande.

Art quilts emerged from the
chaotic 1960s and 70s, as young people rebelled against mainstream industrial
culture. They share a connection with folk art quilts and modern art, using a wide range of visual arts techniques and
media to explore ideas and visions. SAQA is a non-profit, worldwide
organization founded in 1989 to be a source of information on art quilts and
the artists who create them. Learn more at SAQA.com. Some works on display are
available for sale. Refreshments will be served.
