More than $5000 in prizes will be awarded to traditional and modern quilters in a variety of categories. The call for entry is open now through April 30, and entries can be made by visiting the Allegany Arts Council website at https://www.alleganyartscouncil.org/quiltshow/call-for-entry/.
Tickets for the show and workshops will be available for pre-sale beginning in April 2022.
