Entering a quilt for an invitational exhibit is a big step and we, as organizers, do not take your efforts or our responsibilities lightly. We will strive to keep quilts safe and secure. Although the greatest care and respect will be taken with all entries, the quilts are exhibited entirely at the risk of the owner. Please arrange for your own quilt’s insurance throughout the exhibit period. Due to the nature of the U.S. Government and United Nations facilities, this exhibit could be relocated or cancelled at any time with little or no notice.

The organizers reserve the right to photograph any work for publicity purposes, acknowledging the artist, without compensation. Photographs of quilts, exhibitions and quotes from artist’s statement may be used in informational materials for the exhibit.
