Minds Wide Open, Celebrate the Arts in Virginia is the overarching brand that will promote the arts in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The 2010 events will feature Women in the Arts during the time period of March through June encompassing many special days, weeks that honor women. This effort is being spearheaded by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Virginians for the Arts.
VCQ is sponsoring a quilt challenge around the theme of "From the Muse, featuring Women in the Arts" because who better than quilters, most of whom are women, to participate in honoring Women in the Arts. So, Ladies and Gentleman, lets strut our stuff!!
The entries for this challenge are due by the extended deadline of February 24, 2010. This will be a judged challenge with two categories. An individual may enter a quilt in either or both categories:
Please feel free to do more research on the Muses before beginning your quilt. This list was taken from Wikipedia, but there is more out there to enrich your intellect before interpreting one of the Muses in a quilt or journal page.
Karin McElvein and Marty Moon are co-chairing this challenge on behalf of VCQ. It is open to all Virginia quilters so please pass on the information to your guild and other quilters you know in the Commonwealth.
At least two venues have already asked to hang the quilts in this challenge, so we need entries. Send your completed entry form and quilt (with some form of tracking) to:
