Uncommon Threads IV: In the Glen

Art Quilts by the Miami Valley Art Quilt Network

October 2 – November 14, 2010

July’s Prize, art quilt by Ann Diller

The Miami Valley Art Quilt Network is holding an art quilt exhibition titled Uncommon Threads IV: In the Glen from October 2 to November 14, 2010 at the Glen Helen Nature Preserve in Yellow Springs. There will be an opening reception to meet the artists on Sunday, October 3 from 2 pm to 4 pm.

A brilliant array of contemporary and nature themed art quilts by members of the Miami Valley Art Quilt Network is featured in this exhibit. Show hours are 9:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays in the Glen Helen Building located at 405 Corry Street in Yellow Springs. Admission is free. All quilts are available for sale with part of the proceeds going to support preservation and programs at Glen Helen.

These quilts are a delightful departure from the traditional patchwork typically found in bed quilts. Created as works of art, these art quilts include unusual shapes, forms and embellishments, and represent a wide array of subject matter and styles. Exhibiting artists include Cathy Barnes of Urbana, Kate Burch of Oakwood, Ann Diller of Centerville, Pam Geisel, Lori Gravley and Fran LaSalle from Yellow Springs, Lisa Quintana of Troy, Liz Schneiders of Springboro and Joan Sterr of Springfield.


About the Miami Valley Art Quilt Network

The Miami Valley Art Quilt Network (MVAQN) was formed 1992 for the purpose of fostering enthusiasm for the growing art form of non-traditional quilts. The MVAQN’s members focus on using their own designs and techniques to create original works of art, some traditional and many innovative. The MVAQN has had many group exhibits in the Miami Valley area over the years. Members’ works have received state and national recognition and have been included in private and corporate shows and collections. For more information e-mail info@mvaqn.com or visit www.mvaqn.com.
