QUILTERS OF COLOR NETWORK of New York, Inc.; was founded to foster and preserve the art of quilting among people of color. Our objective is to offer quilting techniques to enhance the skills of all Quilters regardless of race or gender. We offer original designed quilts to Museums and Galleries for exhibition. We host quilting workshops and demonstrations for adults, children and teachers. It is our goals to stimulate interest in the art of quilting and, hopefully, guide and foster the next generation of Quilters. The aim of our guild is to present a variety of works that reflect the diversity of the cultural backgrounds of our multi-ethnic membership which include male members. Paying attention to the traditional art form of quilting, we allow the spiritual, social and environmental issues of today to inspire us in our creations. Through our guild's objectives and ongoing documentation, we seek to preserve the history and work of our contemporary quilt makers. As a Non-Profit organization, our members donate quilts and surgical dolls to the pediatric and geriatric wards, as well as quilts and cloth dolls to organizations for the needy.
