Connecting Threads at Dougherty Arts Center - Opening Reception

Join the Austin Modern Quilt Guild for the opening reception of “Connecting Threads”, where each quilt tells a unique story of interconnectedness.  From traditional motifs to bold contemporary designs, witness the ways in which threads weave together narratives, cultures and communities. The characteristics of a modern quilt often include, but are not limited to the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, maximalism, expansive negative space and alternate grid work.

On display from Saturday, November 22, 2025 - Saturday January 10, 2026.
