Art Quilt Australia , including Expressions: the W Art Quilt Australia , including Expressions: the Wool Quilt Prize, is a biennial juried exhibition open to textile artists resident in Australia and New Zealand, and OZQN members worldwide. OZQN defines a quilt as a stitched layered textile incorporating any material and employing any technique. The National Wool Museum defines a wool quilt in a similar manner but it must be composed predominantly of wool.

Art Quilt Australia 2021 seeks to promote excellence and originality in contemporary art quilts in Australia. Works will be assessed in terms of originality, composition, content and execution by a jury of acknowledged experts: Lisa Call, Julie Ryder and Bronwyn Coulston.

There will be over $6000 in prizes, comprising:

$3000 for Expressions: the Wool Quilt Prize, for a wool quilt. The winning quilt is acquired by the National Wool Museum for its permanent collection;
$3000 for the non-acquisitive OZQN Award of Excellence, which is open to all quilts; and
$500 awards for Highly Commended in both categories.
Art Quilt Australia 2021 will be on exhibition at the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery at Nowra NSW from 12 June until 3 July 2021, followed by the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum at Lilydale, Victoria from 7 August until 31 October 2021.

Entries close at 5pm (Perth time) on Friday 30 April 2021. Submission is via the online entry form only.
