Check out Quilt National, based at the Dairy Barn in Southeastern Ohio.
It's a long-running juried biennial exhibition that tours extensively
and includes every idiom in the lexicon of modern quilting. When I saw
it several years ago prior to hosting a portion of it at the Museum of
York County in South Carolina, it included everything from gorgeous
traditional patchwork to a quilt made of sugar packets. Despite the
name, it draws quilters from all over the world.

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