Quilt National On Tour
Each Quilt National collection goes on tour for approximately two years following the close of the exhibition at the Dairy Barn in Athens. The Dairy Barn is the only venue where you can see the entire 80+ piece collection.
Quilt National '05 was divided into three separate groups (Collection A includes 20 quilts; Collection B includes about 25 quilts; Collection C includes about 30 quilts). Quilt National '07 was divided in much the same way.
If you would like Quilt National to be shown in your area, you and your like-minded friends should contact your local museum or gallery. Let the director or curator know that there is a strong interest in seeing this kind of artwork. Suggest that he or she contact the Dairy Barn Arts Center for information about becoming a Quilt National host venue. Rates have been reduced, and repeat venues have an additional discount.
