Generously Odd: Craft Now
Lexington Art League
Lexington, KY
October 24, 2009—January 3, 2010


In an attempt to chronicle the unique territory currently being examined by today’s avant-garde craft artists, LAL invites artists/ craftspeople to apply for an upcoming exhibition in the historic Loudoun House. Generously Odd: Craft Now will focus on contemporary craft objects that engagingly experiment with material, form and concept. While all craft media will be considered, the exhibition will place emphasis on works that explore abundant decoration, obsessive techniques, and peculiar narratives or concepts.

Travis S. Townsend, artist, woodworker, and Lecturer of Art at Eastern Kentucky University, will curate the exhibition.

Eligibility and Media
All artists, age 18 and older. All categories and styles of craft will be considered, however the exhibition will place emphasis on works that explore abundant decoration, obsessive techniques, and peculiar narratives or concepts. All work must have been created by the artist applying.

To apply for Generously Odd: Craft Now, please send up to 10 images of artwork along with an inventory list of the images (we will accept slides or digital images), an artist statement, and a resume listing other gallery exhibitions. Application materials will not be returned. Submissions are due by July 31, 2009. Please note LAL cannot be held responsible for postal delays.
