Its mission is to promote art quilts and the artists who make them. Many artist, writers, musicians, and even scientists look to a “muse” as the source of their creativity or genius. Some artists find a muse by exploring their own innate creativity, while others seek experiences or stories to inspire. Works in this exhibition were created by members of SAQA’s DC, MD, and WV region, each working with their own unique muses.
