Community Quilt

 

This is a call for Fiber Arts for Flemington DIY’s September 2025 Art Show!

What does Collective Liberation mean to you? 

Show us with your Fiber Art, whether a full quilt or small hanging fiber piece, we want to hear from you. 

This show will also exhibit our ongoing Community Liberation Quilt Project where 10 local artists are currently exploring liberation and quilt making. 

In September 2025, we will have a group show at Flemington DIY displaying our Community Quilt, along with other works from our wider community. We want you to join us. 

Registration is FREE and ends on August 1st. 
Work must be hangable. When you register, please explain how it can be hung and we will discuss any concerns we may have with our hanging system.
