Art Design Craft Quilt Showcase

The Toronto Modern Quilt Guild (TMQG) is stepping into the spotlight with its first-ever Modern Quilt Showcase, taking place May 1–2, 2026, at the historic Wychwood Barns. This exhibition offers a rare, up-close look at contemporary textile art, highlighting the bold colours, innovative compositions, and meticulous craftsmanship that define the modern quilting movement.

More Than Just a Quilt Modern quilting is a vibrant, evolving art form, and this showcase is the perfect place to discover it. Whether you are a seasoned quilter, a design enthusiast, or just looking for a creative way to spend the weekend, the exhibition promises to be visually stunning. The event kicks off with a gala on Friday evening, followed by a full day of viewing on Saturday. It’s a great chance to meet the makers, learn about their process, and appreciate the thriving local maker culture in Toronto.
