Quilt National, organized by The Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio, explores the expanded field of quilting, showcasing textile-based contemporary art and fiber as a medium for material inquiry. The exhibition features works that interrogate surface, structure, labor, gender, and politics. These quilts merge craft, design, and fine art, repositioning quiltmaking within contemporary art discourse. Since 1983, Quilt National has toured across the country and beyond, with each collection traveling for approximately two years after its premiere in Athens.
