Mancuso 2025

We voted on the themes for our anticipated 2025 Mancuso exhibits and the description are provided below. As present we will be exhibiting in the Pennsylvania show on September 11-14, 2025 and the theme is Fences

Fences:  Visible and functional or internal and metaphorical? Decorative or plain, made of wood, iron, or wire, the ranchers and homesteaders of the west valued a strong fence.. However, a blizzard, flood, or drifting sand blur the function of boundaries or the efficacy of keeping critters in or out. Fences delineate political and social jurisdictions. As a noun, a fence can be an obstacle in an equestrian event, or as a verb, to fence. Fences may support a flower box, have blooms poking thru, or be the star in the idyllic picket fence home. Perhaps it becomes a key lyric for a song, “Don’t Fence Me In” or a metaphor as in “sitting on the fence” or “side of the fence.” Members of The Art Quilt Association explore their connection to Fences.

At present our perennial show PIQF in Santa Clara, CA is NOT scheduled for 2025.
