You have been invited to submit to the Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts’ first quilt exhibition, featuring the quilters of Fond du Lac County. There is no fee to submit and you will be notified of your acceptance by December 1st. There is no limitation on date of creation or size. If size poses a logistical concern, THELMA’s Curator will contact you to discuss.

You may also submit multiple pieces for consideration. When submitting, please use good quality photos and label the photos appropriately to match the accompanying information about each piece. If you have any technical problems, you may email Shannon for assistance.

For this exhibition, we are also open to submissions of quilted works that have been passed down in your family. Not only do we want to see your contemporary creations, but we are interested in pieces that hold stories and history that are significant to you.

After notification of acceptance, you will be required to drop off or mail your quilts to the THELMA Art Center at 51 Sheboygan St. in Fond du Lac, WI before December 18th. Early drop off is also available by appointment. Work is insured at all times while onsite at THELMA. For additional questions, reach out to shannon@thelmaarts.org or call 920-921-5410.
