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.
