Festival Special!
Take a guided docent tour of the quilt show, one hour before the doors open to the public. Explore the finer details of the quilts and fiber art, and hear a few anecdotes about the makers and their intentions. David Owen Hastings, one of the 2023 Festival judges, Drew Betz and Chandra Wu will be leading these tours. (David will only be present on Friday.)
We will post a list of the 2023 award winners, as well as a complete list of artists who entered, on our website beginning on Friday, October 6, 2023 at Noon.
