Visitors are encouraged to participate in voting or the viewers’ choice. Do not despair if you don’t pick the winner you can always buy a raffle ticket and win a quilt that way. The exhibition is held from the 17 August 2011 until the 27 August 2011 at the Redcliffe City Art Gallery - 470-476 Oxley Avenue, Redcliffe .
