Since 2019, TASO (Textile Artists of Southeastern Ohio) and ChileQuilting have worked together to foster artistic inspiration and promote quilting as a medium of cross-cultural communication. Through our collaborations, we have pursued two primary goals: to learn from and share quilting experiences between our two groups, and to expand our international projects in ways that encourage creativity and cultural exchange .
Our second collaborative project, Origins, consists of 15 textile pieces that reflect personal and cultural interpretations of the theme. These works explore heritage, identity, and creative expression, offering insight into the diverse traditions and artistic visions of our members. Origins speaks to the beginnings that shape us—whether ancestral, artistic, or personal. Some quilts delve into family histories and cultural roots, while others examine the origins of artistic inspiration itself, drawing from nature, memory, or traditional craft.
Origins is an exhibition that embodies international creative exploration and cooperation. ChileQuilting and TASO demonstrate a unique collaboration that celebrates cultural and artistic creativity through the art of quilting. By bringing together artists from different backgrounds, this project highlights the unifying power of quilting as a form of artistic dialogue and mutual inspiration. Through fabric and thread, these quilts tell stories of where we come from and how our origins continue to shape our creative journeys.
Gallery Hours: 12pm-5pm Wednesday-Sunday (Closed Monday and Tuesday)
