Ozquilt Network Inc is a national organisation for art quilters and those interested in art quilts. Our purpose is to raise the profile and status of art quilters, art quilts and art quilt making in Australia. Our membership includes quilters who have achieved national and international success as well as promising emerging artists.

Art Quilt Australia 2025

Art Quilt Australia and Expressions: The Wool Quilt Prize are back for their eighth iteration, proving that quilt-making is anything but old-fashioned. This juried exhibition brings together stunning, skilfully crafted quilts from across Australia and New Zealand—each piece a unique blend of artistry and tradition.  

Honouring the long history of quilt-making in Australia from sensible swags to its own contemporary art form, Art Quilt Australia 2025 is a celebration of innovation, craftsmanship and the continually evolving practice of quilting.  

This exhibition aims to raise the profile and status of art quilters and their work in Australia. Art Quilt Australia 2025 is presented at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum Lilydale, Victoria from Wednesday 9 July 2025 until Sunday 12 October 2025 in conjunction with the National Wool Museum, Geelong. 

Australia Wide Nine

CallThe Australia Wide exhibition program is a biennial series of exhibitions showcasing work by Ozquilt Network members that tours throughout Australia. See it next at Arts Margaret River, Western Australia 12 June to 11 July 2025. The Gallery is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm. View the Australia Wide Nine Gallery.
