This is a selected exhibition of contemporary quilts to be held at Gallery M, Marion, South Australia in September 2019. It asks entrants to ‘Dare to Differ’ in their approach to a quilt – perhaps in theme, style, technique, materials, or even colour. It gives artists a chance to challenge themselves to unleash their creativity.
