Default Difference between traditional, contemporary, modern, art quilting

  1. If asked by a non quilter or newbie, how would you describe the differences between traditional, modern, contemporary and art quilting?
  2. Would you lump all of these styles into the heading of "fiber art". If not, why not ?
  3. Do you think major quilt shows have room for all of these different styles, or should they each have their own shows?
  4. do you think the same judges can fairly judge all of these styles? Please explain your answer.
  5. While most big shows require the entrant to provide info about the quilt such as maker, quilter (if different than maker), design source if not original, etc, the placards by the displayedquilt doesn't provide those details at some shows. Do you think that is fair to all who may have had a part in the overall success of the quilt?
Thank you for sharing your insights.
