TEXTILE TALK: The Future of Contemporary Fibers (Surface Design Association)

FUTURE TENSE 2022 offers a glimpse into the future of contemporary fibers by presenting the very best work being made by students in the field today. During this Textile Talk (moderated by Nora McGinnis), we hear brief presentations from award winners Emily Zarse, Karena Graves, Cynthia Evans, and Savannah O'Leary along with a panel discussion with jurors Ben Cuevas and Carrie Burckle.

Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc. (SAQA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt: "a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure."

Founded in 1989 by an initial group of 50 artists, SAQA now has over 4,000 members: artists, teachers, collectors, gallery owners, museum curators, and corporate sponsors. With access to our museum-quality exhibition program, SAQA members challenge the boundaries of art and change perceptions about contemporary fiber art.

As a part of SAQA’s dynamic creative community, members can take their artwork and career to the next level. We offer a wide range of exclusive resources, mentorship programs, and professional opportunities.

In addition, SAQA documents the art quilt movement – our publications include full-color exhibition catalogs, the Art Quilt Quarterly magazine, and our new book, Art Quilts Unfolding: 50 Years of Innovation.
