As a curator and exhibition administrator, I have some insights into what’s involved in organising a major exhibition. I value the exhibition opportunities offered by Ozquilt Network Inc and their focus on raising the profile and status of art quilters, art quilts and art quilt making in Australia.
It is wonderful to be part of the Australia Wide Four travelling exhibition and I encourage all Australian textile artists to put their work forward for Art Quilt Australia 2015. Further details below.
AUSTRALIA WIDE FOUR
Australia Wide Four is currently on display at The Q Exhibition Space in Queanbeyan, NSW until Saturday 28 February. Gallery hours:
- 10am – 4pm Monday-Friday
- 10am – 3pm Saturday
- Closed Sundays and Public Holidays
The exhibition includes my work Neptune’s Necklace #2.
