Who We Are

The Contemporary QuiltArt Association, a 50l (c)(3) non-profit arts organization run entirely by volunteers, is a Washington state group formed in the fall of 1986. We are a diverse group of artists, teachers, writers, and collectors living throughout Washington, and we view quilts as an exciting, emerging medium of expression and a viable contemporary art form.

Within the pages of this website you’ll find a variety of information about CQA: what we do, a list of members, how to join us as a member or guest, our meetings, an exhibitions calendar, images from past exhibitions, and links to other sites in the fiberarts field. Please use the links at the left side of each page to navigate through the site.
