For over four decades, Quilt National has showcased the best in contemporary quiltmaking, pushing the boundaries of tradition while celebrating creativity, technical mastery, and artistic expression. This year, jurors Ellen Blalock, LUKE Haynes, and Martha Sielman selected 84 quilts that represent a bold and diverse array of styles and themes.
Featuring 27 first-time exhibitors alongside returning artists, Quilt National ’25 highlights fresh perspectives and new voices in the quilting world. From exploring social themes to experimenting with materials and textures, these works reflect the ever-evolving nature of this vibrant art form.
Quilt National will open on May 23 from 4-6 pm and will be on view through September 11, 2025. Admission is $12 per person and free for members. Click here to become a Dairy Barn Member.
