Peter,

The Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY has had great success with its
annual juried quilt show, Quilts=Art=Quilts.  And in the past few years,
the Auburn Historical and Cultural Sites Commission created "Common
Threads: Quilts From Past to Present," a multi-venue celebration of
quilt-related events building on the Schweinfurth exhibition by holding
events at other local sites, including in past years the Cayuga Museum of
History and Art, the William Seward house, the Williard Chapel, and the
Harriet Tubman home.

Exhibitions of traditional quilts seem to be very popular everywhere.
Do exhibitions of art quilts do well too?
Peter
