Quilt Visions 2014: The Sky’s The Limit is the 13th international juried exhibition produced by the Visions Art Museum: Contemporary Quilts + Textiles (VAM).

A full color exhibition catalog will be published.

Jurors: Sue Benner, Patty Hawkins and Bruce Hoffman.

Cash Awards
There are numerous cash awards with two that have specific requirements:

The Atlantic Award for artistic excellence and innovative interpretation of the historical links between Africa and the Americas. The piece may draw upon: aesthetic and fiber art traditions from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean; historical and contemporary events and/or figures that somehow reflect the links between the two regions; or a combination of these.

The YEA! Award for a Young Emerging Artist will be chosen from among the selected artists who are 30 years old or younger as of the opening reception, October 11, 2014. You will be asked for your birth date and year on the entry form if you wish to be considered for this award.
