Quilts -n- Textiles Show
THE SHOW
The Heritage Center at Red Cloud Indian School hosted a Call for Entry this past Decemeber to artists who work with quilts and other textiles. This opportunity was open to enrolled members of Federally Recognized Tribes.
The Quilts & Textiles Show provides opportunity for artists to showcase their latest creation and serve as advertisement and promotion for individual artists and/or community organizations focused on quilting. We asked artists to provide an Artist Statement that helped us compose an in-house publication to educate our visitors on the history of quilting among native cultures.
A third party juror will judge submissions. There are three Divisions each with a First ($200) and Second ($150) place awards and a Best of Show ($300).
The Show will be on display at The Heritage Center from January 23, 2016 to May 21, 2016.
“Quilts became much more than something to keep warm with—they became a symbolic gift to mark major moments in life, like marriage and childbirth. And today, quilting is truly an art." - Ashley Pourier
