First of all, Stitching California, SAQA( Studio Art Quilt Associates) NorCal/Nevade Regional Show is in Pleasanton,Northern California. Currently at Museum on Main http://www.museumonmain.org/ until August 14, 2021. Likewise,my piece is in the main room. Further,each Saturday of the show, an artist participant will be there to greet you and answer any questions that you may have. However,the city closes down Main St on Saturdays for an incredible open market. Lot of food and fun. But GPS maps are not aware of the street closure.
In short,Stitching California was curated by Holly Brackmann and Jennifer Landau of Studio Art Quilt Associates, a nonprofit organization whose members challenge the boundaries of art and change perceptions about contemporary fiber art. Furthermore,the show started at the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, CA in 2019.Above all, it will travel through Exhibit Envoy in partnership with Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA)around the state until 2023.
