Moscow Biennale for Young Art
Moscow, Russia
July, 2010
Executive director: Olga Lopukhova
Co-curators: Daria Pyrkina & Daria Kamyshnikova
Moscow Biennale for Young Art is one of the largest and ambitious projects, realized on the Moscow art scene in the field of contemporary art at present. The Biennale unites artistic initiatives of the whole Russia, the countries of near and far abroad. Leading art centers of Moscow in collaboration with regional and international partners take part in its preparation and realization.
The key criteria for participant selection are not only age, but also in many cases phase.
The phenomenon of Boundaries and its possible interpretations were selected as the main theme of the 2010 Biennale. It is logical to talk about boundaries after the slogan «Stop! Qui vive?», the invariable motto of the Biennale.
It is timely to raise a problem of the divide between the «young» and «mature» art, to examine peculiarities of the development of art of the globalization era artists, who have been brought up after the symbolic date in the modern era, the fall of Berlin wall (it has been also a metaphoric border between two worlds). The idea of boundaries is connected with the problem of communication, artistic creativity in the epoch of new technologies, implying elimination of geographical barriers and putting artistic ideas into free circulation. Many other adjacent and related topics will be touched in the project.
The Biennale participants will be selected, based on the results of the open admission of applications. Individual or group artwork applications as well as curator project applications will be accepted.
Application rules: (truncated)
Applications for the Biennale, according to a set form, are accepted online by the Biennale organizers from June 1 till November 1, 2009.

As an exception, according to the decision of the board of curators the age limits may be raised to a little degree.

Convergence 2010 Albuquerque
Handweavers Guild of America
Albuquerque Convention Center
Albuquerque, New Mexico
July 22 - July 25, 2010
International juried exhibit open to work created using any fiber arts technique.
Eye dazzling rugs and blankets are among the earliest types of Navajo textiles to be woven with manufactured yarns and synthetic dyes. Because of their fine texture and wide range of color, these “Germantown” yarns lend themselves to fine weavings and infinite detail. When these fine yarns with their exciting array of colors combined with the new Saltillo designs the Navajos were learning from the Spanish Colonial weavers during the transitional period (1880-1900), colorful complex textile designs resulted. Let the inspiration of outside influences, change of environment, new materials, and the incorporation of neighboring ideas inspire you for this Multimedia Fiber Arts exhibit, which is open to work created using any fiber arts technique.
Eligibility:
Three pieces may be entered per artist. Pieces must be originally conceived and created by the entrant. The work should be one-of-a-kind, not previously exhibited at a Convergence, and completed within the last two years (since January 2008) and not previously published.
Submitted work may exhibit one or more of any fiber technique, including, but not limited to, weaving, knitting, basketry, braiding, crochet, surface design and shibori.
The size of finished work may not exceed 60 inches (1.524 meters) in any dimension and it may not exceed 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) in weight.
Awards: First, second and third place awards will be selected by the juror. Additional special criteria awards may be available.

A juried gallery exhibition of artwork relating to birds and their habitats
The Schuylkill Center

December 5, 2009 - April 3, 2010
Curated by Zoe Cohen, Art Program Manager
The Schuylkill Center’s 340 acres of woodlands, fields, streams and ponds is an oasis for birds in Philadelphia. Our landscape supports over 100 species at various times of the year, with over 50 bird species that nest on our property. The Schuylkill Center hosts a number of bird species of concern, species whose numbers have declined over recent years because of habitat loss. According to Audubon Pennsylvania, habitat loss and fragmentation are the most serious threats facing birds around the world, across America, and here in Pennsylvania. Preserving bird habitat is key to preserving the variety of species that we know today.
This exhibition invites visual artists working in all media to present artwork that reflects the realities and mysteries of birds. In preparing submissions, artists should consider The Schuylkill Center’s two mission-driven objectives: Land Preservation and Environmental Education. Our Art Gallery is located within our main Education Building, and exhibitions are viewed by visiting school groups as well as adult visitors. Artists are especially encouraged to submit work that deals directly with bird habitat and behavior, and that relates to birds native to the Philadelphia region.
Visual artists from any disciplinary background may apply, and submissions of any gallery-based media are welcome, with installation proposals encouraged.
Each artist's submission may include up to 3 separate artworks, with up to 3 views of each work.

Pop Up Studio Shop is offered to makers, artists or photographers to make, show and sell their work without committing to a long term licence. It is offered on a fixed hire period for a minimum of two weeks and differs from our gallery spaces in that we don’t take commission and we even provide plinths for you to display your work.
You can advertise your Pop Up Studio Shop on New Brewery Arts website. And because Pop Up Studio Shop is brilliantly placed just next to our main entrance, it benefits from being between the main Cirencester shopping area and Tesco’s car park and gets all the passing trade.
It gives you the opportunity to show and sell your work, test the market, to try out a new range, promote a new product or service or work in partnership with other artists and makers. You can even do demonstrations and talks about your making or artwork and hold a launch party. You don’t have to “give up” your existing studio - you can just try an alternative venue and we positively encourage you to be as funky or quirky as you like.
Dimensions
The Pop Up Studio Shop is 362 sq feet. It is heated by electric wall heater, has hot and cold running water and electrical sockets.
Length of hire
Hire must be in multiples of 2 weeks.
New Brewery Arts is open seven days a week. Ideally, your Pop Studio Shop needs to be open at the same time.
Cost
The Pop Up Studio is available for hire at the following rates:
Jan – Feb £150.00
March – Oct £175.00
November £250.00
December £350.00
All rates are per week plus VAT inclusive of electricity.
We also require a Key and Decoration deposit of £50.00 which is returnable at the end of the hire period.

Craft Challenge: Scarves
Lark Books
Senior Editor: Nathalie Mornu
Publishing Opportunity
We’re looking for fresh, original designs sewn from upcycled vintage scarves to publish (along with how-to instructions) in an upcoming book geared toward the beginner/ intermediate stitcher. The tone of this 132-page paperback will be clean and sophisticated, with an urban edge. We want to include a range of sleek wearables and home dec items that are distinctive and eye-catching. Unlike in the first two books in this series (Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase and Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Tea Towel), urbane, chic, sassy designs are more likely to be accepted than sweet or cute ones. There is no entry fee, and early entries are encouraged.
Interested in working with us? We invite you to submit project proposals! Here’s how:
By October 15, 2009 submit to Lark one proposal form per proposed project—there’s no limit to how many proposals you can send—along with a digital photo of your already-stitched design, or a scan of a sketch with a photo of the scarf/scarves you’ll use. Pretty simple, huh?

PieceWork is a bimonthly magazine with high visual impact focusing on the historical aspects of needlework around the world.
People with a passion for traditional knitting, embellished clothing, and beautiful lacework—all made by hand—are PieceWork magazine’s core audience. PieceWork explores the personal stories of traditional makers, what they made, and how they made their creations, and investigates how specific objects were crafted and the stories behind them.

how-to techniques and step-by-step projects make the traditions come alive for today’s knitters, embroiderers, lacemakers, crocheters, and quilters.
SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES (truncated)

We invite submissions of complete manuscripts. Manuscript length may vary from 1,500 to 4,000 words depending on the subject matter.
Projects/Techniques
We invite submissions of design sketches, or color charts, or actual samples/projects for step-by-step techniques or original projects that directly relate to an associated article; stand-alone projects rarely will be accepted. Projects should display technical expertise in the technique.
EDITORIAL CALENDAR

Submission deadline: December 7, 2009

Infinity Art Gallery
Deadline: September 15, 2009
Infinity Art Gallery
Online Exhibition
October 15, 2009
Infinity Art Gallery
Online Exhibition
October 15, 2009
Intention:
It is our intention to choose the very best art in terms of composition, technique, concept and overall excellence regardless of style or medium. Submissions are encouraged to include a wide range of style, medium and content and selected work will likely include a broad range of art.
Finalists will be selected for artistic excellence which includes concept and mastery of technique. Artwork will be selected solely on its own merit without regard to the artists' names.
Exhibitions:
All exhibits take place online at http://www.infinityartgallery.com/ and showcase artwork by international contemporary artists. All jury selected artwork will be exhibited for six months at Infinity Art Gallery.
All eligible entries submitted by artists may be displayed online during the Call-to-Artists. Artists may choose not to participate in the pre-exhibit show.
Eligibility:
All juried exhibits are open for artists everywhere to submit. Artists must be 18 years of age or older. Publishers, galleries, agents, and collectors may not submit artwork on behalf of artists. Media (video/film/audio) not accepted. All works submitted must be created within 36 months prior to the deadline. The original design and concept must have been created by the submitting artist, have been created without the use of a kit, and may not have been created under supervision or instruction. Artists may submit work that was submitted for previous exhibits, but may not submit artwork previously selected by the jury as a finalist in any exhibit at Infinity Art Gallery.
Qualified Artwork:
An unlimited variety of subjects and styles are eligible including traditional, contemporary, abstract and conceptual art. Submissions may include sculpture, painting (oil, acrylic, water media, pastel and egg tempera), drawing, printmaking, glass, mixed media, photography, computer generated art and fabric art.
Craftwork will not be accepted. The exploration of traditional craft materials used in an artistic realm is acceptable, but will not be accepted if the work is deemed to be a 'craft' piece. One way artists may determine if their work is craft is to inquire whether the piece is poetic in 'concept' and 'emotional response'.
Grand Opening:
October 15, 2009
Up to 60 juried artists will be exhibited. Award winners will be announced and the artwork, artist statements, and contact information of selected finalists will be exhibited. At this time the artwork of non-finalists is no longer exhibited in the gallery.

The Founders' Choice, Art Director's Choice, and Gallery Director's Choice awards will be selected by the founders and directors of the gallery.
Awards:
Creative works of art will be selected for artistic excellence, which includes concept and mastery of technique. Award winners will be announced at the Grand Opening.
