The Dittmar Memorial Gallery opened in 1972 to enhance the mission of Northwestern University by utilizing visual art as a vehicle for transmitting culture and knowledge. The gallery currently places emphasis on ethnic cultural art, art by emerging artists, art by or about women, artwork by Northwestern undergraduate and graduate art students and traveling art shows. Contemporary quilters from Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana comprise PAQA, the Professional Art Quilters Alliance. The works of these fiber artists run the gamut of techniques employed by present day quilters. Included are works by more than 40 PAQA members.
