Bold, Creative, and Contemporary: The Toronto Modern Quilt Guild Debuts Its Inaugural Showcase at Wychwood Barns
The Toronto Modern Quilt Guild (TMQG) is proud to announce its first-ever Modern Quilt Showcase, an exhibition celebrating the art, design and craft of modern quilting. The event takes place May 1–2, 2026 at the historic Wychwood Barns in Toronto, offering the public an unprecedented look at contemporary textile art created by local makers.
What: Toronto Modern Quilt Guild Showcase 2026
When: Friday, May 1 – Saturday, May 2, 2026
Where: Wychwood Barns, Toronto, ON
Admission: $25 for Friday Gala (6pm – 9 pm) / $15 for Saturday (10am-5pm)
This landmark exhibition will feature a curated selection of modern quilts by members of the TMQG — a vibrant community of designers and makers dedicated to exploring quilting as both craft and contemporary art. Quilting enthusiasts, design lovers, families and visitors of all ages are invited to explore the unique visual language of modern quilting through bold colour, innovative composition, and craftsmanship.
“We are thrilled to bring the passion and creativity of Toronto’s modern quilting community to a broader audience,” said Cristina De Miranda, Quilt Designer and Co-Chair of the event. “This showcase is a celebration of innovation, artistic expression and the thriving maker culture right here in our city.”
The TMQG, founded in 2009, has grown into a dynamic guild that meets monthly for lectures, workshops and collaborative projects. Members have exhibited in national and international shows and contributed to community initiatives. However, this is the first time the Guild has organized a public show dedicated entirely to the work of its membership.
The Showcase will also provide opportunities for local businesses, creatives and sponsors to partner with the Guild, support the arts, and connect directly with an engaged audience of makers and craft enthusiasts.
