The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is pleased to announce the 3rd Artist Member’s Exhibition in the Museum’s Porcella and Hallway Galleries. Creatives who are current Artist Members may apply to exhibit work in the exhibition, Radical Regeneration. This theme of renewal, repair, and revitalization considers the changes we have collectively endured in the last two years, and, in many ways, the changes we are still processing. In light of lessons learned after times of perseverance, this exhibition considers how moments of cultural disruption can create opportunities for personal or collective change. With this concept as a point of departure, artists may take the exhibition’s theme of ‘Radical Regeneration’ as a means of reflecting on what new ideas, practices, or politics might grow from this historic moment.

SJMQT is delighted to announce that Bay Area Artist, Adia Millett, will juror Radical Regeneration: 3rd Artist Members Biennial.
