ARTQUILT ELEMENTS 2008 ArtQuilt Elements, formerly ArtQuilts at the Sedgwick, is now a biennial juried exhibition celebrating its eighth show. In April and May 2008, AQE will be presented by the Wayne Art Center.
The mission of AQE is to create an East Coast venue for art quilts that will promote the contemporary quilt as an art form. In this exhibition we present contemporary quilts that reflect or embrace original, unique and innovative methods incorporating impressive craftsmanship and technical prowess.
2008's AWARD WINNERS
The Wayne Art Center Presents Five Awards at ArtQuilt Elements Opening
Five awards for artwork were presented at the ArtQuilt Elements 2008 (AQE) opening on Friday, April 4th. AQE is at the Wayne Art Center in Wayne, PA through May 10th, 2008. Over 300 art patrons and 40 of the 68
artists juried into AQE attended the opening.
Wayne Art Center's Exective Director, Nancy Campbell and Director of Special Projects, Karen Louise Fay, selected Maggie Weiss' "Iris" for the FiberArts Award. Ms. Weiss will receive a year subscription to FiberArts Magazine. She flew in from Evanston, Illinois to attend the opening.
Surface Design Association President Jason Pollack selected "Form #3" by Lori Moum for the SDA Surface Design Award. Ms. Moum will receive a year subscription to the Surface Design Journal. Her art quilt was one
of several that sold during the opening weekend.
Mr. Pollack also presented Lori Lupe Pelish the Fabric Workshop and Museum Award for her art quilt "Almost". Ms. Lupe Pelish received a handprinted oversized canvas tote donated from their gift shop of "made in house" products.. She arrived from Nishkayuna, New York to attend the opening.
The Studio Art Quilt Associates CREAM Award was presented to Mirjam Pet-Jacobs who flew in from Waalre, the Netherlands. The CREAM, given
in memoriam of Ina Stentiford, is in recognition of a SAQA member who is considered an emerging artist. This year was the first time that Ms.
Pet-Jacobs' artwork was juried into AQE. Her piece is called "Meditation I-O, for the wings of a dove". Funding for the CREAM Award was donated by four SAQA members in honor of Ms. Stentiford.
