Special Exhibit
Artistic Diversity Challenge
Curated by Knot Even Quilters Guild (KEQ) in Michigan.
Description of challenge: When you look at a finished piece of artwork, you are looking at years of study, experimentation, experience, and feeling that the artist has poured into her work. There are layers of texture and color and processes in every genre of art. In this challenge, the KEQ group of artists is exposing you, the viewer, to a vast array of techniques available to them as textile artists. Tasked with using as many methods as possible in a single piece, the Knot Even Quilters Guild joyfully offers our many skills for your enjoyment.
This challenge is for the exhibition only - your quilt cannot be submitted for this challenge.
