Ahead of the Curve: Spirit of Modern Quiltmaking

Next date: Saturday, 10 October 2026 | 11:00 AM to Saturday, 05 December 2026 | 02:00 PM

Curves are everywhere in nature, design and the world around us, but in quilting they present a unique creative and technical challenge.

The Ahead of the Curve exhibition brings together a striking collection of contemporary quilts that explore the curve as both a technical achievement and a source of creative inspiration. Through bold colour, inventive construction and expressive forms, the artists push the boundaries of traditional quilting, creating works that balance precision with experimentation, structure with fluidity.

Opening event
Join us for the exhibition opening on Saturday 10 October at 11am, featuring a special high tea. Meet fellow art and textile lovers, celebrate contemporary quiltmaking and be among the first to experience this inspiring exhibition. Register here.

From intricate craftsmanship to contemporary abstraction, the exhibition showcases the remarkable possibilities of textile art today. Each work demonstrates how makers continue to evolve the language of quilting through material, colour, form and imagination.

Whether you are a quilter, textile enthusiast, artist, collector or simply curious about contemporary craft, Ahead of the Curve offers a fresh perspective on a familiar medium and the makers taking it in exciting new directions.

Works will be available for purchase throughout the exhibition.
