MISC:
Srudio Art Quilt Assoc. presents This is a Quilt!:
This is a Quilt! is SAQA’s second Trunk Show. Curated by Deb Cashatt and Kris Sazaki, it showcases SAQA’s diversity of talent and its mission to promote the art quilt through education, exhibitions, professional development, and documentation. Two hundred sixty-eight SAQA artists at every level of their careers answered the invitation to submit a quilt to the Trunk Show, in order to answer the question, “How do we as SAQA members explain what we do –- create quilts -- without people immediately thinking of a nine-patch that goes on your bed?”
Seven trunks, containing 30-50 art quilts, will travel the globe between 2011 and 2013. The pieces are in 12” square white mats with 8" openings, and are presented in clear envelopes with artists’ statements on the back. Some trunks also contain 3D pieces housed in acrylic boxes.
The trunk show is a wonderful way for members and non-members alike to view and engage with quilts made using a wide variety of styles, techniques, and fibers. Some regions might want to organize special meetings around the trunk show and invite local quilt groups to view the works. Other regions might want to use the trunk show as the basis for a critique session while still more might consider exhibiting the trunk show in their local libraries or art centers.
Michael Solomon, formerly of the Solomon Dubnik Gallery in Sacramento, California, chose 50 of the quilts to become part of the permanent collection of the Kresge Art Museum at Michigan State University after the trunks finish traveling.
The following SDA members were selected to be part of the permanent collection of the Kresge Art Museum:
Regula Affolter, Patricia Bruvry (N. CA), Jette Clover, Yael David-Cohen, Jamie Fingal, Rebecca Fricke, Susan Elaine Henry, Jill Jensen, Andrea Limmer, Linda
McLaughlin, Linda Miller, Pat Owoc, Mary Pal, Pixeladies, Deb Cashatt & Kris. Sazaki, (N. CA), Karen Reese Tunnell, Debbie Wambaugh (N. CA)

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2011 – Invisible Lineage showcases the work of four influential mid 20th century fiber artists—Mary Buskirk, Lydia Van Gelder, Mary Walker Phillips, Katherine Westphal—alongside works of four late century artists, Pat Abrahamian, Pam Moore, Karen Hampton, and Janice Sullivan. The juxtaposition highlights the profound influences the earlier artists had on a second generation of artists working in the fiber medium. A wide array of objects and textiles drawn from each artists’ collective bodies of work illuminate the invisible lineage between the first generation of ground breaking artists and the later artists they inspired. Invisible Lineage opens on November 15, with an opening reception on November 20, from 2-4pm.
