Current Exhibitions

Quilts Made by Men | January 15, 2024 ~ April  20, 2024


Quilts Made by Men | 17th Bieniennial Men’s Call for Entry (CFE) exhibit

Main Gallery

The 17th exhibit of Men's CFE quilts is an exciting diversity of styles and colors - with some interesting techniques. The passion for the art of quilting shown by these men is amazing and the variety a pleasant surprise. Some exhibitors have been in the show before - but some are here for their first time!  23 Men Quilters present 33 quilts that were juror accepted. These men have quilted for anywhere from 5 years to about 40 years and the styles of their quilts at times reflect the other parts of their lives.

 

 

 
Necktie Quilts | Christine Copenhaver

Northeast Gallery

Christine Copenhaver's solo show is such a perfect compliment to the Men's CFE - with her focus on silk ties taking on a whole different use.  Sewing since 7th grade, Christine became an environmental consultant after earning PhD in Biology/Ecology - but found she needed a right brain activity in the evenings. Wait till you see what she found as the perfect activity!


 

Exhibits are developed multiple ways.
Call for Entries (CFE)

One of them is Call for Entries (CFE). CFE exhibits are when an exhibit hall sets requirements for an exhibit, then puts out a call for potential exhibitors to enter their work as a possible entrant to the exhibit. Anyone who meet the requirements set - can enter and many artists get their first opportunity to exhibit in this fashion. Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum presents Calls for Entries on a regular basis and "Quilts from Men" is a result of one of them. An exhibit later this year is also a CFE Exhibit: English Paper Piecing - for which the Call period will open May 1 and close May 31. See the Qualifications and Requilrements HERE.Proposals for Exhibits

Curated Collections or Shows

Another way Exhibits are developed is by artists and groups proposing sharing curated collections or shows. For information on how you might submit something - CLICK HERE.
