Artists Rights Society nominated for Licensing Excellence Award for Gee’s Bend Quilters and Cloth & Company collaboration

Artists Rights Society is thrilled to announce our nomination as a finalist in the Licensing International Excellence Awards 2024 for the incredible Cloth & Company x Gee’s Bend Quilters collection, under the category of Best Product – Appliances, Housewares, or Electronics for Corporate Brands.

The Excellence Awards are the only international recognition of licensing excellence, spanning borders and languages. The winners are selected from hundreds of submissions by a judging panel of industry experts from around the world.

Artists Rights Society and the Gee’s Bend Quilters teamed up with the bespoke furniture brand Cloth & Company and the Philadelphia Museum of Art to translate the bold geometric patterns and vibrant color palettes of the quilters into functional pieces of art for your home. From pillows and ottomans to bed frames and dining chairs, the line pays homage to the visionary works of Mary Lee Bendolph, Delia Bennett, Annie E. Pettway, Loretta Pettway, and Magdalene Wilson, all drawn from the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s prestigious permanent collection. The line of statement pieces is made exclusively available for sale through the Philadelphia Museum of Art shop and Cloth & Company. See how you can elevate your space with the soulful charm and artistic legacy of Gee’s Bend right in your home!
