General Information:
The venue can hold approximately thirty-five flat pieces and two to four 3-D pieces. The show curator will be by Kris Carmichael, Facility Supervisor for Page-Walker. Every effort will be made to include one piece from every member who submits pieces for consideration. If all PAQA-South members do not submit, it is possible that more than one of your pieces might be displayed. There is no limit on the age of the piece but it cannot have been previously shown at Page-Walker. The pieces do not have to be for sale but if you do want to sell your piece there is no commission taken by Page-Walker.
Each member may submit up to three pieces.

Members who are interested in presenting a quilting related workshop during the show should contact Rob Garner, Cultural Arts Program Specialist, 919-462-3963, Rob.Garner@townofcary.org. by mid February 2011.
Specifications
Innovative and original design by the artist only. No kits or quilts made in a workshop with the aid of an instructor. Quilt must be multi-layered and joined by stitching.
When submitting artwork artists should consider the fact that this is a public venue the users of the building must pass through the gallery space as they enter. All submissions need to include a short statement for each art quilt referencing the interpretation of the theme.
Preliminary acceptance will be granted based on un-enhanced digital images. Final acceptance will be granted upon the receipt and examination of the quilt. We reserve the right to omit from the exhibition accepted quilts that do not contain the same qualities as the submitted images. The exhibition coordinators’ decision is final.
