The Professional Art Quilters Alliance-South gives fiber artists a forum in which to network with others who have similar interests and goals. We come together to strengthen each member's professional development and business acumen.

 

The Professional Art Quilters Alliance-South (PAQA-South), with the Page-Walker Arts & History Center in Cary, North Carolina, announces its sixth annual juried exhibition of innovative quilts:
 
Artquilts cultures
April 25 – June 25, 2008
Page-Walker Arts & History Center, Cary, North Carolina
 

As a product of our surroundings, we each live within cultural boundaries. Some prefer a soft reticent melody, while others embrace bold and provocative rhythms. Our love of color, symbols and style is influenced by culture: whether it be ethnic, religious, generational, institutional, of gender or the many other cultures that create interest in our world.
You are invited to share a visual interpretation of the culture(s) that inspire you, that make you who you are, or who you dream of being, in quiltart form.

 
We are pleased to announce the artists whose art quilts were selected from a large number of beautiful submissions. Our jurors, L.M. Wood and Peg Gignoux, spent hours before finalizing their decisions. Congratulations to the artists!
