Art Quilts from "Preface"

Arts Council Gallery

The walls of The Ink Spot are alive with Art thanks to the SDW, Ink Arts Council. On-going art exhibits that feature new work every two months welcome visitors and inspire writers. Curators for the Arts Council are Jihmye Collins, Bonnie Woods, Andrea Casillas Hein, and Patrick McMahon. In addition to being fine artists, they are also writers and members of San Diego Writers, Ink. The Arts Council Gallery is located in The Ink Spot, 710 13th St., in downtown San Diego's East Village.

The Arts Council Gallery features work of our community’s most accomplished artists who have generously agreed to donate a portion of all sales of their art to support SDW, Ink.

The Arts Council invites applications by artists.

Current Show —Preface:
An Introduction to Art Quilts
May 12 - mid-July

Meet the Artists Reception
Sunday, June 13 3-5 pm

Art quilts are visually appealing works of art which express the artists’ concerns, ideas and emotions in fabric and stitch instead of paint on canvas. All the quilts in the exhibit are a uniform size of 12” x 12” and all are for sale. The small scale of these works permits the artists to make their work available at prices which are readily affordable.
 
The artists, who reside in San Diego County and the Inland Empire of California, are members of Studio Art Quilt Associates, an international association of fiber artists who are dedicated to advancing the appreciation of the quilt as a visual art form. Individual artists have shown their work nationally and internationally in prestigious juried exhibitions and many have won awards
