Small contemporary art quilts are meant to hang on the wall. This quilt form functions like a canvas and the color and texture of the fabric are like the paint, allowing for free expression. In keeping with the spirit of the art quilt, the exhibition's range of style, technique and content are diverse.  The art quilt can combine different crossover elements from drawing, painting, photography, printing and sculpture to create this new and exciting art form.

Thirty two fiber artists from across the United States have been selected by jurors Cathy Rosa Klimaszewski, Ames Associate Director for Programs/Curator of Education, Herbert F Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell Unviersity and Roger Smith, painter, sculptor, educator and Director of The Main Street Gallery.

The artists participating are Lisa Chipetine (NY), Susanne Clawson (MD), Lisa Corson (CT), Linda Filby-Fisher (KS), Sumi Foley (CA),  Melissa Craven Fowler (NY), Jayne B. Gaskins (FL), Deborah Gregory (WA), Lisa Germain (LA), Nancy Hicks (NY), Anne Hiemstra (MI),  Jamie S. Horikawa (NY), Victoria Kelly (MI),  Deborah Kuster (AR), Sandra E.
