It is an honor to be selected for this prestigious exhibition, and even more so to be recognized with an award. When I first entered the galleries, I was struck by the strong visual impact of the works… and that smaller works can hold their own and be recognized. I’d like to acknowledge the effort that went into presenting a very successful exhibition.
— Tracey Lawko, AQE 2016 Artist and winner of the “Greater than the Sum of Its Parts” award
We absolutely loved Art Quilt Elements. Your talent is amazing. What beautiful pieces you have hanging in the display. I didn’t know there’d be so many peaceful, beautiful areas to walk through!
— Grace, 7 years old
It has been a huge honor to have had a quilt in Art Quilt Elements 2016. I appreciated the small touches that added to the exhibit.
