GALLERIES AND
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

In the late 1970s artists were using fabric to create works that
were pieced, layered, stitched and stuffed. These works were "quilts"
by virtue of their structure, although they were intended to be
viewed on a vertical plane. The original designs and use of innovative
techniques and color combinations made them unacceptable to the
organizers of traditional quilt shows who were most interested in
beautifully crafted bedcovers with recognizable patterns. The only
exhibit opportunities for these artists were in mixed media fiber
shows alongside baskets and weavings until the Quilt National was
created. Visit this site to understand the history behind the current
art quilt movement.

The International Quilt Study Center holds a collection of historic
quilts unlike any on earth. In April 1997, The University of Nebraska-Lincoln
announced that Robert and Ardis James were donating their collection
of over 900 quilts to the university. The Jameses also pledged their
financial support to create a center that encourages scholarship
and nurtures the appreciation of quilts as art and cultural history.
