February 2026: The Black Line Challenge

The Black Line Challenge by Studio Art Quilt Associates
The Wyoming SAQA group is made up of eleven art quilters living all over the state, hosting monthly zoom meetings and group challenges. The current installation on display in AVA's gallery is called the Black Line challenge, exploring collective fiber works reacting to a common concept.
Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc. (SAQA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt: "a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure."
