Mission Statement

In 1996, The Quilters of Color Network of New York, Inc. was established as a non-profit group dedicated to: 

a) fostering and preserving the art of quilt making among people of color,
b) maintaining high standards of design and technique in the art of quilt making,
c) making quilts that benefit the needy and
d) stimulating community interest in the art of quilt making. 

We achieve these goals in a number of ways which include:  frequent workshops that encourage members to share and develop their skills, exhibitions of quilts produced by members and by students of the workshops, selling quilts for the benefit of the needy and distributing quilts to pediatric and geriatric wards in hospitals.

 The Quilters of Color Network of New York, Inc. welcomes members at all skill levels and is open to all women and men interested in exploring quilting from the perspectives of individuals form communities of color both in the US and abroad.  Any person, regardless of race, color, creed, sex, or national origin may become a member of this chapter upon application and receipt of dues.  The guild is self-supporting through its annual dues and fundraising activities.
