“The Art of Quilting”
On PBS March 2007
See inspiring quilt artists at work in their studios. Discover how the boundaries of traditional American quilt
making have expanded to an art form that now adorns the walls of exhibit halls and art galleries worldwide.
The Art of Quilting honors America’s contemporary art quilters by visiting art quilt exhibitions across the coun-
try and through personal interviews with nationally and internationally noted fabric artists.
The program highlights the quilts and artists of Quilt National – a bienniel show held for nearly 30 years at the
Dairy Barn in Athens, Ohio – the premier exhibition of contemporary art quilts in the country.
The Art of Quilting is made possible by the Alberta Kimball Foundation and by contributions to PBS stations
from viewers.
