Knoxville Modern Quilt Guild will open a new exhibit at The Emporium for Friday, May 2, 2025. The party is from 5-9 p.m. at 100 S. Gay Street, hosted by the Arts & Culture Alliance.
This new exhibition features a curated collection of quilts that showcases modern elements such as bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space and alternate grid work.
The collection of small quilts exhibited as a group stems from a challenge in which members all received the same fabric bundle and a prompt to interpret modern quilting elements in a mini quilt.
The Knoxville branch meets monthly and welcomes new members. Info: https://www.knoxvillemqg.com/
