Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc.

Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) is a vibrant global nonprofit dedicated to elevating the art quilt as a respected form of fine art. We define the art quilt as a layered, stitched creation—or a piece that draws on this tradition in inventive, contemporary ways.

For over 35 years, SAQA has built an international network of more than 4,000 artists, curators, collectors, and art professionals. Through world-class exhibitions, inspiring publications, professional development, and a strong sense of community, SAQA fosters both public appreciation and the growth of our members’ creative journeys.

Our vision is bold: to see the art quilt recognized and celebrated in galleries, museums, and collections worldwide. Whether you’re an artist or an art lover, SAQA invites you to explore, connect, and grow with us as we celebrate the creativity and diversity of the art quilt.
