Australian Quilts In Public Places (AQIPP)

Australian Quilts In Public Places (AQIPP) is an initiative of AQA designed to enhance public awareness and appreciation of quilting. This juried exhibition is open to all quilters residing in Australia. The exhibition gives quilters an opportunity to create original works, using their talents to interpret a given theme.

AQIPP was first organised in 1997 to showcase uniquely Australian textile talent and received critical acclaim.

It has provided an environment for visually exciting and diverse responses to themes such as our landscape, immigration, women’s issues, and United Nations International Themes.

AQIPP 2027 is scheduled for late 2027.

Quilters across Australia are invited to interpret the theme “rhythm”. The online entry form will be available in early 2027. Time to start planning your entry!
