Contemporary Quilt Art
January 8 - March 12, 2026
The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission pleased to present the work of the Contemporary Quilt Art Association, a group show titled Rhythm and Rhyme: The Climate in Which We Live, on view January 8 - March 12, 2026.
Rhythm and Rhyme: The Climate in Which We Live is a juried exhibition presented by the Contemporary Quilt Art Association.
Everything has a rhythm - pulsing quasars, geologic eras, seasons and tides, and the wind in the trees all create the context of our lives. Nature rhymes as it repeats patterns in ways that often elude our grasp. While human history does not repeat itself, some say it often rhymes. Every generation faces the challenges of learning anew the importance of harmony and balance. Echoes and rhymes, pattern and rhythm are everywhere.
About the Contemporary QuiltArt Association (CQA): Founded in 1986, we are a non-profit arts organization with more than 100 artists in Washington state bound by their relationship to fiber art and a desire to promote the Art Quilt as a vibrant visual art form. CQA members continue to expand the definition of the Art Quilt, especially as new materials and techniques are developed.

Annette Stiers Jones
January 7 - March 11, 2026
The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Annette Stiers Jones, on view January 7 - March 11, 2026.
“I am Annette Stiers Jones, a landscape photographer based in Washington’s Pacific Northwest. My journey began in childhood, when early encounters with a camera sparked a lasting fascination with art and storytelling. Today, I seek to capture the fleeting beauty of wild places – sunsets igniting alpine peaks, wildflowers glowing at golden hour, the Milky Way stretching across silent skies. Nature is ever-changing sometimes suddenly, and each photograph preserves a moment that might otherwise be lost. Through my work, I hope to offer a sense of peace, strength, and wonder – and invitation to pause, reflect, and carry the serenity of the natural world into everyday life.”
