SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates)

  • Contemporary quilts
  • International

SAQA Europe & Middle East brings together a diverse community of artists from across the region, representing a wide range of languages, histories, and cultural backgrounds. Despite these differences, members share a powerful common language: their art. Through color, form, material, and technique, their works create a visual dialogue that transcends borders.

SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the art quilt, defined as a visual art creation formed of layers or stitching that reference the structure of sewn textiles. SAQA is committed to presenting innovative, thought-provoking, and aesthetically compelling work worldwide.

Through a museum-quality exhibition program, SAQA provides its members with an international platform that encourages experimentation and expands the boundaries of contemporary textile art. These exhibitions not only offer artists the opportunity to present their work in prestigious contexts, but also reveal to audiences the richness, diversity, and complexity of the art quilt.

Rooted in openness and excellence, SAQA Europe & Middle East actively contributes to reshaping perceptions of textile art, affirming the quilt as a major artistic medium of our time.

Year

2026

Every two years, members of SAQA Europe & Middle East are invited to submit their most accomplished works for the exhibition Wide Horizons. For this 10th edition, the theme once again opens a broad field of interpretation and experimentation. The expression “Wide Horizons” naturally evokes openness, exploration, and a forward-looking spirit. It suggests new works, new themes, and new stories to be told. Yet it can also be understood as an invitation to delve more deeply into favored subjects, to see familiar themes in a new light, or to push beyond the boundaries of established practices. Artists explore horizons in both literal and metaphorical ways: geographical horizons, inner landscapes, cultural perspectives, or conceptual territories. Each work reflects a personal artistic journey in which experimentation and inquiry play a central role. More than technical virtuosity alone, it is creativity and commitment to the medium that take precedence. The exhibition highlights strong artistic statements where reflection, innovation, and authenticity come first. Through this diversity of approaches, Wide Horizons affirms the vitality of contemporary art quilts and the richness of voices within the SAQA Europe & Middle East region.
