Have you ever considered leading a Study Center at Seminar?
We are taking applications for Study Center Presenters to speak at Seminar 2027 in Des Moines, Iowa!
Study Center topics embrace everything to do with quilts, fabrics, trends, history, and, of course, the people within the broad quilt community. These sessions are an opportunity to share your passion, knowledge, and experience with others who are equally interested in everything to do with quilts, offering participants the opportunity to learn in a smaller, interactive environment.
Presentations can include a PowerPoint, lecture, hands-on experience, quilt turning or combination. Physical examples of fabrics/quilts and handouts of the presentation are very much appreciated by attendees.
Study Center submissions are due by March 15th. Clink the link below for the fillable submission form. For more information and answers to any questions, please email the office at aqsg2@americanquiltstudygroup.org. Thank you!
What is Seminar?
AQSG's feature event is our annual Seminar. Held in a different location every year, Seminar brings quilt enthusiasts and scholars together for a weekend of quilts and quilt study. In addition to the presentation of research papers chosen for publication in Uncoverings, Seminar offers pre-conference tours of museums and private collections, study centers, engaging speakers, panel presentations, and a poster session. Other events include live and silent auctions of quilts and other treasures; show-and-tell of remarkable quilts, textiles, and related items; an on-site special quilt exhibition; and the sale of vintage quilts and textiles by member dealers from across the country.
