A collaboration between The Quilters’ Guild of NSW Inc. and Manly Art Gallery & Museum.

The New Quilt exhibition has been hosted by Manly Art Gallery & Museum for the past twenty years and for the twenty first year, it was agreed that a new vision for the exhibition be achieved. This is a curated, themed exhibition with specific selection criteria. This is a move away from the past and it is hoped that it will offer further opportunities for all textile artists to enter a quilt.

ELIGIBILITY
Entry is open to all textile artists.

YOUR QUILT (truncated)

* Entries must be the original, non-traditional design of the entrant. Works made under supervision in a class or workshop are not eligible.
