All work must meet the definition of an Art Quilt: a contemporary artwork exploring and expressing aesthetic concerns common to the whole range of visual arts, which retains, through materials or technique, a clear relationship to the folk art quilt from which it descends.
In addition, only original artwork, conceived and created by the entrant(s) will be considered; no patterns, kits, copies, or works that are the result of a class or workshop are allowed. If multiple artists were involved with the creation of the artwork, all artists must be listed as entrants.
Non-refundable entry fee is $30 for up to three (3) entries. Please make checks payable to Patricia Gould.
SELECTION
Selection of the work to be shown will be made by Patricia Gould and Katy Korkos, co-
representatives for SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Association). Ms. Gould and Ms. Korkos are New Mexican fiber artists who have curated exhibitions and have numerous awards at both the national and international level.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Please submit two digital images of your work— one full, one detail of each on a CD. Save your images at 300 dpi, 4" X 6", as TIFFs or JPEGs, at the highest quality, non-compressed. Be sure to label your images with the number of your entry, your last name, and the title; for example, 01gouldmoonrise and 01gouldmoonrise_detail.
No CDs will be returned. Please include a 4" X 6" print of the entire quilt for each entry.

Christchurch, Dorset
July 5 , 2008 to August 25, 2008
Textile Artists (individuals and groups) are invited to submit a piece of work for this exhibition which is aimed at the visually impaired, and also children.

When we are working with textiles we are constantly handling them, but as soon as they are put into an exhibition "Please do not touch" signs are displayed.
Tactile Textiles intends to dispense with this idea and create an exhibition to be experienced and enjoyed, though not exclusively, by the visually impaired.
Entries selected for the exhibition will be displayed in the Main Exhibition Gallery at the Red House Museum.
Judging

CADArts or the museum will not enter into discussion regarding indivdual entries or artists.

Beyond Reading: Books As Art
A Multimedia Invitational Exhibit
Presented in conjunction with Red Thread Studio & Shooting Star Gallery
Suffolk, Virginia
April 25, 2008 to June 6, 2008
The Suffolk Art League and the Suffolk Museum in Suffolk, Virginia are hosting an exhibit this spring entitled "Beyond Reading: Books As Art."
We are looking for artists that create traditional handmade books, as well as artists that create altered books. Altered books, by definition, are any books - old or new - that have been recycled by creative means into works of art. Additionally, we are looking for each artists' own interpretation of this theme, so our submission parameters are very broad.
We have several east coast artists committed to this exhibit. We are still looking for artists who work in this genre, or who are willing to create their version of Books As Art.
The Suffolk Museum is included in Suffolk's tour during Virginia's Garden Week (April 25), and will be opening this exhibit in conjunction with other venues reflecting our overall theme of Beyond Reading.
If you are interested in participating you must RSVP by March 25, 2008 to Kinzy@visi.net or 757.923.2371. You may submit up to 4 pieces for inclusion in this exhibit. Please indicate in your RSVP the number of works you will be submitting. At that point you will receive additional labeling and inventory information.

Ivory 24-7 Project Space
Deadline: Ongoing
Artisan Gallery
Ivory 24-7 Exhibition Window
Australia
Artisan Gallery invites individual artists, groups, curators and organisations to submit exhibition proposals for its Ivory 24-7 program. This prime exhibition space located in Fortitude Valley is perfect for rapid exposure of new works.
Artisan's Ivory 24-7 exhibition window is a 24 hour prime exhibition space available for 3 week showings. The window lends itself to innovative exhibitions and is suitable for installation. It is suitable to showcase the new work of emerging and established practitioners.
Exhibitions are selected to best represent priority areas of interest and to provide a strong and balanced program. Exhibition proposals are considered and negotiated throughout the year, with no formal closing date. Artisan charges a Hire Fee for a standard month of $500 Ex GST.
This project space lends itself most effectively to bold, innovative, conceptual statements with immediate impact on passing viewers. Artists are strongly advised to consider the impact and legibility of their work for vehicular and moving street traffic, rather than to the more typical close-standing gallery viewer. This does not preclude small-scale works, but such works will require strong installation design to support them.
Interested applicants are invited to visit the Gallery to consider its suitability for their project, and discuss it with Gallery staff prior to developing their proposal. It is important for applicants to be familiar with the size, configuration and display possibilities of Ivory 24-7.

Deadline: March 3, 2008—5 PM (RECEIVE)
Intermedia Arts
Think Local [Spring Programming]
Class & Workshop Proposals
April 1 – June 30, 2008
Think Local:
Exploring the role of artists in the physical, social and economic development of neighborhoods
Intermedia Arts is currently seeking proposals for workshops to be presented during Think Local, our Spring 2008 programming quarter (April 1 – June 30, 2008).
Courses should creatively address the ways in which community members can participate in classes, workshops and dialogues to build their own capacity to contribute creatively to their own neighborhoods.
Intermedia Arts is looking for community artists working in literary, media, performing, and visual arts to offer a broad range of creative classes, workshops, retreats and intensives for people of all ages, levels and interests, ethnicities and communities during our Spring 2008 quarter. We offer the kind of workshops that can’t be found anywhere else; workshops that move beyond “how to create” and investigate why we create—melding craft with history, literature, social issues, and community struggles while creating space for the aesthetics of the margins.
Workshops may be interdisciplinary. Classes and workshops take place at Intermedia Arts. If you have a unique, introspective, controversial, political or other workshop topic that you’ve always wanted to offer, but have never had the chance, this is it! You may offer weekend intensives, one-day workshops or classes lasting up to 4 weeks.

Worn Fashion Journal: General Submissions
Deadline: Ongoing
The next pitch deadline is May 1, 2008
Worn Fashion Journal
About Worn Fashion Journal
Worn plays a unique role by bringing a political, environmental, historical and cultural context to fashion. Pushing boundaries of collaboration and authorship with fashion magazine tropes like the photo story, Worn expands traditional relationships between models, designers, writers, photographers and illustrators. By exploring where art and fashion overlap, connecting with Fashion scholars and artists, and paying attention to how what is worn gets made, interpreted, transformed, disseminated and copied, Worn opens new avenues in art theory.
How to Submit (truncated click link for full details)
Guidelines and Good-to-Knows: Article Submissions
Getting into the fold.
Before you start writing for Worn, we may ask you to do at least one profile of a store in your area, especially if you have not pubished before. This will show us that you can write, follow direction, and hand stuff in on time – namely that you’re serious. It also gets you published on the website.
Starting out
Read the publication. We can’t stress that enough. Your submission suggestions need to be something that fits with the rest of the journal to even be considered. Worn has a clear and specific voice, and is a labour of love for all it’s contributors. You should love Worn, or at least think the idea of it is interesting.
If you have an idea for a great article, we want to hear about it. Send me a pitch at serahmarie@wornjournal.com. Lay out a plan for your article. A point form format is fine, but go into some detail, about 200 words. If it is reserch based, you should include at least two reference titles and names of people you plan to contact. Be wary of all encompassing topics, re: the mod look. You won’t have the space to do them justice. Better to choose something like Mary Quant and her paper dresses. Pitches for the next issue are due 10 days after the previous issue release. The next pitch deadline is May 1st, 2008.
We are VERY interested in clothing articles from a non-traditional fashion perspective. The role of clothing in political campaigns, short fiction, how shoes are made, Hooters uniforms…the more obscure, the better. We are in no way interested in trends, what’s in style, or what’s Hot Right Now.
If you have an essay that you have written that you think can be adapted, please send it along with a note on what you plan to do with it.
Remember your reader.
And it’s not your professor. Remember that your reader may not be an academic – and they’re reading this for fun as much as for information. If you must use complicated technical words that apply to your story, think of alternative tools like side bars to explain them as apposed to slowing down the story for those who do know what you are talking about.
BUT REMEMBER ALSO, this isn’t Flare. Don’t push products, advise on what to wear, or talk like you’re on Sex in the City. Take clothing seriously, this journal is not about hype.
Get detailed.
We need articles that discuss a fashion idea, concept or historical happening in a new way. We prefer not to rehash easily accessible facts or overly disseminated information. Our readers could just pick up a Taschen book or read Wikipedia. We want to be more interesting than that. Be prepared to do some first-hand research.
Throw in your opinion.
That’s right, release yourself from the fear of essay doom: tell us what you think! We want information, but we want your voice more. Anecdotes, opinions, and detail bits of info are necessary to make an interesting article.

My Quilts/ Our History
Deadline: July 15, 2008 (POSTMARK)
My Quilts/ Our History
The Alliance for American Quilts
Sept. 27-Oct. 15, 2008
Competition Theme
My Quilts/Our History: The competition celebrates The Alliance for American Quilts' fifteen-year mission to document, preserve and share our great quilt heritage. Contest quilts should reflect your personal history as a quiltmaker. Your quilt might celebrate your favorite techniques or patterns, illustrate the ways in which your quilting skills have developed over the years, or serve as a tribute to a quilt teacher or other mentor. Just as long as the quilt's design is tied to your quilt story in some way, and the finished quilt is a 15" by 15" square. Entries can be traditional or art quilts. Any techniques -- piecing, applique, embroidery, whole cloth and/or manipulated fabric, etc. -- may be used. Quilts are to be made especially for this contest. Any materials can be used.

OCAC Artist-in-Residence Program
Deadline: April, 1, 2008 (RECEIVE)
Oregon College of Art and Craft
Artist-in-Residence Program
Portland, OR
Junior Residency - Fall/Spring Semester 2008/09
Senior Residency - June 22 to July 31, 2009
Oregon College of Art & Craft offers a semester-long program for emerging artists and a summer residency for mid-career artists. The residencies are offered in each of the College's seven media areas of concentration: book arts, ceramics, drawing, fibers, metals, photography and wood. Both programs offer housing, individual studio space, a stipend and the opportunity to become involved in community life at the College. All residents give an introductory slide lecture and a public review of their work. Each fall an exhibition in the College's Hoffman Gallery features work by the artists in residence.
Junior Residency
The semester-long junior residency provides an opportunity for the post-graduate artist to pursue a proposed body of work over a four-month period in a stimulating arts environment. The residency offers the time and place for young artists to concentrate on their work. The ideal resident is self-directed, relishes the challenge of time to work, but enjoys creating work in a learning environment where relationships are mutually reinforcing. The Junior Residency Program hosts two residents each fall and spring semester. Media areas of concentration are decided on a rotating basis.
For the fall 2008 semester, one appointment will be made in book arts/printmaking and the second in wood. For the spring of 2009, one appointment will be made in ceramics and another appointment will be made in fibers. The 2009-2010 cycle will offer residencies in the remaining studios.
Senior Residency
The senior residency focuses on allowing mid-career artists a time to work during the summer. During odd numbered years the senior residency will accept applicants from all media areas of concentration for a six-week residency. This residency is offered to three artists.
During even numbered years seven resident artists representing each area of concentration are invited on campus for a two-week period in July. This invitational residency is a wonderful opportunity for top artists and craft persons to gather together, share ideas and inspiration and be a part of an intensive discourse about art.
In addition, two Oregon College of Art & Craft faculty members are awarded ten-week residencies each summer.
Oregon College of Art & Craft's Artist-in-Residence Program is made possible by a generous grant from the Collins Foundation.

Exhibition: “Memories, Shadows and Substance”
Vancouver, BC
July 23 to August 17, 2008
In connection with the Memory Festival 2008 in Vancouver, Fibre Essence Gallery invites submissions for an exhibition: Memories, Shadows and Substance.
We connect with our past in a variety of ways. One of those traditional ways has been to cut apart threadbare clothing, blankets, pillows, and curtains and re-shape them into something new — in effect, wearing and/or wrapping ourselves in our own families’ past.
More recently, those who work with fibre: paper, cloth, or wood, have shaped new items as representations of their connection to a past memory or to ephemera of a life lived — moments from a vacation, or an impression of an experience.
We invite textile artists to submit a work of any size for an exhibition to be held from July 23 to August 17, 2008.
Submission Requirements
The work you submit will go through a jurying process. Please follow the guidelines below in order to give yourself the best chance for your work to become part of the show.
Work can be any size, any textile or textile technique.
In the lower mainland, work can be dropped off at Fibre Essence Gallery, 3210 Dunbar St., Vancouver, Wednesday — Saturday, between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
If you are not able to drop off the piece, send a good quality digital photograph with accompanying information regarding the size and composition to Pam Godderis-Dangerfield at pamgodderis@shaw.ca.
All items must be for sale.
At the end of the exhibition we will require those within a 100 kilometre radius to pick up their work from Fibre Essence, others we will return provided we have packaging and mailing information.
Artist Statement
All work sent for jurying must be accompanied by a statement of 200 words or less regarding its connection to the theme: Memories, Shadows and Substance.
Cost
All those who exhibit at Fibre Essence must be official Friends of Fibre Essence. The cost is $25 for one year membership as a Friend. As a friend, you will receive information about upcoming exhibitions, special events, and workshops.

About the Memory Festival
The Vancouver Memory Festival is an ongoing inquiry into public and private memory. The idea of a festival with no fixed time or place evolved from a discussion of History and Memory at the Geist Foundation — in particular the apparent absence of both history and memory from much of the culture discourse of the “New World.” When we discovered that Cambridge University has been holding an annual “History Festival” for some years (only to be postponed in 2007 for lack of funds), we wondered if a preliminary to an eventual History Festival in North America might take the form of an improvised exploration of memory and the artifacts of memory.

About the Memory Festival
The Vancouver Memory Festival is an ongoing inquiry into public and private memory. The idea of a festival with no fixed time or place evolved from a discussion of History and Memory at the Geist Foundation — in particular the apparent absence of both history and memory from much of the culture discourse of the “New World.” When we discovered that Cambridge University has been holding an annual “History Festival” for some years (only to be postponed in 2007 for lack of funds), we wondered if a preliminary to an eventual History Festival in North America might take the form of an improvised exploration of memory and the artifacts of memory.

7. Be willing to participate in all aspects of the Fellowship program, including meetings, a studio visit by an art critic, gallery talks and a group exhibition at MCAD Gallery.

Rosalux Gallery
Minneapolis, MN
June 11th – June 29th, 2008
Rosalux Gallery is pleased to announce its Fourth Annual OPEN-DOOR Exhibition. This is the only chance for non-member artists to showcase their work in the gallery. This is an excellent opportunity to exhibit artwork in one of Minneapolis’s premiere commercial gallery spaces. All media are accepted: there are no guidelines set for subject matter, medium or style, and the show is open to anyone throughout the world.*
Rosalux Gallery is an artist collective that opened with 12 members in February of 2002 in Northeast Minneapolis. Its mission was to provide a commercial exhibition space for its member artists. Rosalux grew into a gallery where artists could make decisions about how their work was shown and promoted. Because all artists in the gallery are responsible for the gallery and its operations, all profits from sales go to the artist. This keeps artwork priced reasonably for the public and profitable for the artist.
Juror
Yasmil Raymond, Assistant Curator at the Walker Art Center, will jury the show.
APPLICATION MATERIALS:
Rosalux Gallery takes a 35% commission on any work sold during the show.
*Artists are responsible for transporting art to the gallery as well as picking up unsold work when the show is over. Anyone outside the Twin Cities area is responsible for all shipping fees.
