Prism Play: A Full Spectrum of Art QuiltsSeptember 15, 2026-January 2, 2027

In this exhibition of 62 works created by members of the Northern California/Northern Nevada region of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA), viewers will be immersed in the flow of a color wheel. Each work—all created in the same size—is monochromatic in design but unique in theme, subject, and construction. Presented together, they create a vibrant spectrum unveiling the world of color that artists throughout the ages have explored.
