AQM XX: FAVA's 20th Biennial Contemporary Quilt Exhibition
May 11 - July 7
Reception & Awards: Saturday, June 22, 12-2

The Artist as Quiltmaker(AQM) is the second longest running art quilt exhibition in the world. The Firelands Association for the Visual Arts (FAVA) deliberately chooses not to define ‘quilt,’ thereby encouraging both established and emerging artists to submit innovative artwork—pushing boundaries and challenging expectations—whether they use traditional or non-traditional techniques or materials.

Our thirty-eight exhibiting artists hail from twenty states and one Canadian province. Nineteen artists are first-time entrants and fifteen are repeat exhibitors. AQM was originally envisioned by one of FAVA’s founders, quilt historian Ricky Clark. This year, AQM continues the tradition of celebrating the best in contemporary art quilts at FAVA for its 20th iteration!

Join us for the AQM XX reception and awards Saturday, June 22nd from 12-2! During the Oberlin Chalk Walk 10 - 4 the same day we'll have a free quilt inspired art activity for visitors of all ages to participate in the front yard!
