About APNQ Traveling Exhibits
Since 1998 APNQ has developed a traveling quilt exhibit in conjunction with its biennial Quiltfest. Members representing the geographic diversity of APNQ are invited to submit a quilt interpreting the selected theme. Quilts debut at one Quiltfest, spend the next two years traveling the country being exhibited, and are auctioned off during the next Quiltfest Gala. APNQ's traveling exhibits serve as both fundraisers for the organization and a realization of our mission--to promote the art of quiltmaking in our region and beyond.
Since their inception in 1996, these inspired collections have traveled the country and, through the generosity of the quiltmakers who donated their works, have earned more than $135,000 at auction. Past or currently traveling exhibits have been featured in scripted slide shows which are available for group rental; upcoming exhibits are currently being scheduled for venues and will debut at the upcoming Quiltfest.

Slideshows
The previously auctioned quilts may still be viewed as part of a scripted slide show, as well as the current 2010 exhibit "Living Colour." For more information about renting any of the slideshows for your group, please contact the Slideshow Coordinator at info@apnq.org.

The Association of Pacific Northwest Quilters is proud to present our seventh traveling exhibit. The exhibit highlights the imaginative potential of the quilt as an art medium, while being inspired by the Living Colour theme.
The quilts will spend two years traveling the country, showing off the talents of Pacific Northwest and Canadian quilters at major quilt shows and museums. They will be auctioned at the Gala Dinner & Auction 2010.
