Behind the Scenes at Quilting Arts TV

As artist quilters, where we work can make a huge difference in what we create and how we feel about the process. If you have a passion for surface design, your creative space may look much different than an artist who is ‘all-in’ with creating mural-sized landscapes. Listen today as co-hosts Susan Brubaker Knapp and Vivika Hansen DeNegre chat with artist and project manager Jane Davila about the opening of a brand new studio space that meets the needs of a unique cohort of artists.  Click here to view the show notes for this episode.

Where We Work

As art quilters, we are inspired by so many genres of art. Often, we look at work from 20th Century painters to glean what we can from their innovative composition. But consider this: those artists were also inspired by others. In this episode, Artist in Residence, author, journalist, and quilt historian Teresa Duryea Wong, provides insight into how the Abstract Expressionists – painters such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko – were most definitely influenced by quilt art from the previous century.

Missing Quilt Market Bonus Episode

Over the last two years, so many of us have missed going to our favorite museums. We love to wander the halls of my local museum for inspiration, learning opportunities, and – let's face it - entertainment. Museums are so much more than buildings that function as spaces for art storage and display. They are important institutions that preserve our heritage, educate the public, and celebrate the importance of art in our culture. This episode of The Quilting Arts Podcastfocuses on quilt museums in specific, featuring a conversation with Carolyn Ducey, Curator of Collections at the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. Click here to view the show notes for this episode.

Song Quilts with Fiber Nation

Thanks so much for listening to the Quilting Arts podcast in 2020. Susan and I are looking forward to being back with you in 2021. In the meantime, I wanted to encourage you to listen to one of our sister podcasts, called Art Bound. I just listened to the episode that focused on the value of an art education – Episode 4. I particularly appreciated their discussion because many art quilters also develop classes and teach their techniques. Art is art, no matter the medium, and we all have so much to learn from each other. In this episode of Art Bound, host Doug Kacena sits down with Kristy Gordon and Trey Egan, two successful artists who are also art teachers. They discuss just how valuable their own art educations were to their growth and careers as successful artists, as well as how teaching has made them better artists.After you listen to this conversation, you can find more episodes of Art Bound wherever you listen.
