an Ozquilt Network members’ exhibition on tour 2024-2026

The Cannery Arts Centre is pleased to present Australia Wide Nine, a touring exhibition showcasing the textile artwork of Ozquilt Network members from across Australia and overseas.

The exhibition features thirty-five works, each 40x40cm, chosen by a panel made of artists Bernadine Hine and Edwina Cherry and curator Jacquie Nichols Reeves.

The exhibition demonstrates the scope and variety of stitched and layered textiles. Materials used range from cotton and silk to paper and cardboard and even shoelaces! Techniques include: hand and machine stitching, digital printing, needle felting, gelatine printing, plant-dyeing, collage, and painting. The works address many different themes with diverse interpretations and styles.

Australia Wide Nine is an initiative of Ozquilt Network Inc. whose mission is to raise the status and profile of art quilters, art quilts, and art quilt making in Australia.
