The Grand Showcase: Smaller by Design

​

OPEN NOW!

​

We are honored to have The Grand Hotel in Salem as a Quiltopia 2026 sponsor and host of our kick-off event. The Grand Showcase: Smaller by Design, an exhibition of smaller art quilts and other fiber work.

The selected works are now on display in the lobby of the hotel from

October 1 through November 9, 2026.

​

Artists responded to the call for entry: The Soft Quiet. The artists created textile and fiber based works, limited in size to a maximum of 20" x 30" depicting their personal sanctuaries in a world filled with constant noise and the relentless pace of modern life.

​

Please visit the exhibit, take time to contemplate the pieces, perhaps have a meal at the restaurant, and DON'T FORGET TO VOTE for your favorite quilt. Ribbons will be awarded based on votes received.
