More Than Fiber: A Creative Approach to Material
Deadline: December 15, 2009 (POSTMARK)
More Than Fiber: A Creative Approach to Material
Cohen Gallery
GoggleWorks Center for the Arts
Reading, PA
March 7 To April 18, 2010
MORE THAN FIBER: A CREATIVE APPROACH TO MATERIAL
Fiber art is distinct in its many applications and influences. Historically fiber work was considered a home craft and utilitarian. Today’s artists have stretched the definition in many directions, discovering and adapting its uses in extraordinary ways. Mixed mediums that have become familiar in contemporary art are now relevant to fiber art. Three dimensional work and the use of metal fibers have come together to create a new concept of sculpture. Paper has brought its texture to many forms of fiber art. All modes of fiber work, traditional and interpretative, secure the special place it has always had – a hands on human element referencing historical content and contemporary thought.
ELIGIBILITY
Open to all artists who design and produce their own original work. Work must have been created within the last three years. All media welcomed.
ENTRY FEES
Each artist may submit up to three works for $35.
JUROR - WARREN SEELIG
Warren Seelig lives and works in Rockland, Maine. He holds the rank of distinguished visiting professor in the Fibers/Mixed Media program at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia where he teaches, curates and writes on various subjects related to sculpture, textile and fiber.

2011 Quilting Arts Magazine Calendar Contest
Deadline: March 8, 2010 (RECEIVE)
2011 Quilting Arts Magazine Calendar Contest
Theme: Flavor of the Month
Quilting Arts Magazine
You’re invited to enter the 2011 Quilting Arts Magazine Calendar Contest, with the theme “Flavor of the Month.”
Does the thought of July make you want to bite into a cold, sweet slice of watermelon? Does the smell of cinnamon make you long for a piece of Grandma’s Thanksgiving pie? When you think of April, can you taste drops of rain on your tongue? What flavor does each month of the year conjure up for you? Show us in stitch, surface design, fiber, and embellishments your favorite “Flavor of the Month.” The artists who create the 13 winning submissions (one for the cover and 12 for the months) will each win a prize package worth $200.
How It Works
Create up to two original, not previously published, 12" x 12" square embellished art quilts based on the theme of “Flavor of the Month.” The quilt(s) must be backed and bound (anything from a traditional binding to a zigzagged or satin stitch is fine, but the edges must be closed). The quilt(s) should also include a sleeve for hanging, as the winning quilts will be displayed at various quilt and textile shows with Quilting Arts Magazine.
Although we welcome all quilting styles, each quilt should be of original design and have some form of embellishment, include mixed media, or have some surface design technique. Examples include—but are not limited to—beadwork, silk screening, fabric painting, thread painting, needle felting, and hand embroidery.
Submit three 8" x 10" photographs of each submission, one of the full quilt and two detail shots.
Finalists announced: April 5, 2010 on the website.
Winners announced: May 10, 2010 on the website and notified by email.

Medium Resistance
Ice Box Project Space
March 3 – April 4, 2010
Recent discourse tends to force print and craft objects into not-so-recent, even outright conservative categories: as fine art, they must be autonomous, original, and auratic; as artisanship, they must rely on tactility, skill, and apprenticeship. In both instances, printmaking and crafts are defined in defensive opposition to the forces and effects of mass culture, reproducing an old-fashioned binary in which art and artisanship provide a substitute sphere of “authentic” creative experience rather than a critical engagement with cultural production at large.
The exhibition Medium Resistance features contemporary works of print and craft that resist such an either-or classification. Informed by historical avant-garde practices such as the Bauhaus and Constructivism, these works reassess the mediums’ expressive, communicative, and material possibilities to articulate experiences beyond known aesthetic, social, and political boundaries. Vessels and posters, digital images and books, to name just a few examples, straddle the lines between art, craft, and mass production, strategically exploring each format’s functionality and usefulness, its potential for participation and collaboration, communication and dissemination.

We are currently seeking suggestions for artists to be included in this exhibition. If you know an artist(s) you would like us to consider, please forward their name and contact information to:

Medium Resistance
Ice Box Project Space
March 3 – April 4, 2010
Recent discourse tends to force print and craft objects into not-so-recent, even outright conservative categories: as fine art, they must be autonomous, original, and auratic; as artisanship, they must rely on tactility, skill, and apprenticeship. In both instances, printmaking and crafts are defined in defensive opposition to the forces and effects of mass culture, reproducing an old-fashioned binary in which art and artisanship provide a substitute sphere of “authentic” creative experience rather than a critical engagement with cultural production at large.
The exhibition Medium Resistance features contemporary works of print and craft that resist such an either-or classification. Informed by historical avant-garde practices such as the Bauhaus and Constructivism, these works reassess the mediums’ expressive, communicative, and material possibilities to articulate experiences beyond known aesthetic, social, and political boundaries. Vessels and posters, digital images and books, to name just a few examples, straddle the lines between art, craft, and mass production, strategically exploring each format’s functionality and usefulness, its potential for participation and collaboration, communication and dissemination.

Up to five New York-based emerging artists will be offered space, time and support to explore the production and exhibition of artist's books and related work in year-long residencies.

The Athenaeum of Philadelphia

As part of Philagrafika 2010: the Graphic Unconscious, the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, in collaboration with the Philadelphia Center for the Book, is issuing this call for entries for book artists to respond to selected works from the Athenaeum’s legacy research collection of architecture and design.
Athenaeum curators have chosen ten books from their collections that are available to view both on site and online. Artists residing in the United States are invited to submit proposals for a book that they will create in response to one of the selected books. The proposed books may be editioned or one-of-a-kind, artist books, book objects, altered books or zines. The proposal must be for newly created work, directly responding to a specific book from the Athenaeum collection.
Six of the proposals will be chosen, and these six artists will make their proposed books, which will be exhibited in the Athenaeum gallery in March and April during the Philagrafika 2010 festival. A generous grant from the Beneficia Foundation underwrites this competition and exhibition, and will provide these six artists with a stipend of $500 to help offset the cost of the book production. The artists’ books will be exhibited along with their Athenaeum counterparts.
The Athenaeum books are available to view by appointment during regular Athenaeum hours (call 215-925-2688 for appointments), and online at www.philaathenaeum.org/competition.html.
Athenaeum staff are available in person and at 215-925-2688 to consult with artists about the books to which they are responding.
There is no fee to submit a proposal for this competition.
Proposals must include:
Complete contact information for the artist, including email, phone number and mailing address. Website if applicable.
Drawings and/or rough dummy of the proposed book, including estimated size and media. These materials must be original artwork, not digitized. Due to case size, final books should not exceed 30 inches in any dimension.
Brief artist statement of 200 words or less describing how this book is a response to the particular book from the Athenaeum collection.
6-10 digital images that reflect the artist’s prior work
Resume focused on book arts experience
Proposals will be judged based on quality of the proposed book, evidence that the proposed bookwork is a response to a specific Athenaeum book, and the quality of the artist’s prior work and experience. Proposals should be mailed or hand delivered to the Athenaeum, and received there by September 25, 2009. On-line entries are not accepted.
Artists will be informed of decisions by October 3.

Jane Fournier, author of Sheep to Clothing and former editor for Piecework, will teach spinning along with Kathryn Alexander who is well known for her wearable art. Other classes are planned including basketry, bobbin lace, Brazilian embroidery, and dyeing.
We still need more regional teachers to apply to fill out our plans for 10 classes running simultaneously during the conference and the 2 days of post conference workshops.
Building on MAWS 2008 success, we plan Introduction to Spinning and Introduction to Weaving classes as well as Children’s activities that will be open to the community for registration, Thursday June 3. Our vendors will open up Thursday night with a Spin-In and special shopping night. After classes on Friday, we head to the Yellowstone Art Museum, which is featuring a special fiber arts show. Saturday night are the shows and Living Treasure awards. On Sunday we finish up with the “Rimsical Whimsical” fashion show and then on to post conference workshops.
If you are interested in teaching at MAWS 2010 please contact Linda Shelhamer.
For vendor booths contact Susan Leaverton.

Fabrica: Making Space
Deadline: Ongoing
Making Space
Fabrica
Brighton UK
Unusual Opportunity
Making Space is an opportunity for artists to make new work, layout or document work or try something out for a small invited audience in Fabrica outside of our main exhibition programme. Please note that this is not an opportunity for an exhibition.
Fabrica is Making Space available to artists on the basis of testing new ground, to try new ways of working and using the space in imaginative ways. It could be used to make a sound piece, try something on a larger scale or document work.
Artists are invited to submit a short proposal of no more than 1 side of A4, with a CV and send a CD with jpeg images of recent work (maximum 5) or a link to your website. The proposal would need to make a case for using the space at Fabrica, the projects would need to run for between 2-4 days and take place on weekdays.
Cost £50 per session basic, if heating were required this would add an extra £50 per day. Artists by negotiation can work outside office hours but they will need to pay for staff on top of the £50 basic admin fee.
Criteria:
• Artistic projects in any art form
• Fit in with the organisation (i.e. people would still need to be able to access the gallery and be free to do so)
• Be 'studio' projects, i.e. focussed on developing, documenting or producing work rather than outward facing presentational or public events. Exhibition proposals or proposals for performances seeking a walk-up audience will not be considered
• Be 2-4 days in length, access to the gallery space outside of office hours will be considered but this will involve additional costs
• Make a case for using this space rather than any other.
• Artists would need to be prepared to undergo a health and safety briefing for building use
• Artists can apply anytime of year but projects are likely to take place in June, September, December, January, February and March. (Depending on venue hire and other programming)
• If proposals are successful artists will be contacted to discuss details and we will confirm 1 month before the project begins
