AQuA Show at the Radio Room Gallery

KAFM Community Radio announced today that it will host an exhibit of art quilts and fiber art pieces by the Art Quilt Association of Grand Junction (AQuA).

"We are so pleased to welcome AQuA back to the Gallery at the Radio Room," said Gallery Director, John Anglim. "This will be our second time to partner with AQUA. The first show was a great success and we are proud to again feature this fantastic collection of fiber artists, who consistently create some stunning contemporary quilts and fiber art pieces."

The Art Quilt Association, (AQuA), based in Grand Junction, Colorado is comprised of fiber artists from all over the state of Colorado, as well as other states and even one member from Scotland. Specializing in quilts as art rather than bed coverings, they explore textile manipulation and diversity of mixed media as an art form.

Interest in art quilting has exploded in the last few years with national focus groups like Studio Art Quilts Association and Surface Design Association growing in membership. AQuA was ahead of the curve. Established in 1996, the group has grown from a handful to over 70 members.

The exhibit will hang in The Gallery at the Radio Room from July 1 through the end of August.

There will be an opening reception on Friday, July 15 from 5 to 7 pm.
