Portfolio 2023: the Best of 2022 is the current FRCQ annual online juried members’ exhibit.

The juror for Portfolio 2023 was Laura Wasilowski.

From Laura:

Congratulations to all the members who submitted artwork to the Front Range Contemporary Quilters Best of 2022 Portfolio. Selected artists depict life on the Front Range from the slender beauty of aspen trees to rampaging wildfires, to a colorful celebration of Colorado cherries! Their stories told in cloth are rich in color, movement, and texture. In viewing the artwork, you’ll see artists with a developed style and those exploring new techniques. You’ll see artwork that engages your imagination and entices you to take a closer look. And you’ll see a wealth of creativity from people who find joy in the making of art. It was a pleasure to be the first to view all this inventive artwork by the Front Range Contemporary Quilters and I know you’ll enjoy the exhibit as well.

Enjoy our newest annual, online, juried members’ exhibition!
