Started in 1996 by Mary Andrews and Marty Lawrence, the Michigan Quilt Artist Invitational brings together the work of Michigan artists who are committed to using the quilt form as a vehicle for visual expression.  Each year selected artists create an original quilt based on a theme.  These quilts then form the traveling exhibit that tours galleries, museums, and libraries throughout the State of Michigan.
See the current exhibits' travel schedule below.
