Alula Editions
Collaborative Textiles
Alula Editions is accepting proposals for our first round of editions. We work in collaboration with artists to produce repeat patterns for textiles. Each year subscribers to the edition will receive four objects (functional or scuptural) made from this hand silkscreened fabric. The objects will be made to compliment the themes and ideas present in the textiles.
How We Work
Alula Editions is currently accepting proposals for our first round of collaborations. We work with artists to create hand silkscreened textiles which we make into an edition of objects. The objects will be designed to compliment the themes and ideas present in the textiles and may be functional or sculptural.
We are interested in working with artists from all disciplines. Knowledge of repeat pattern design and previous textile experience are not necessary. We can work with any artist who feels that the aesthetic of silkscreen printing will compliment their practice.
Each artist is offered a $500 stipend for their work on the creation of the repeat pattern design. Helena and Amber take care of all production costs and labor. Artists also keep 3 of the editioned objects for themselves.
A Bit More About Alula Editions
Alula Editions seeks to provide artists an alternative mode of distribution outside of galleries and museums. The subscription model allows us to support artistic production while simultaneously building fun and mystery into the act of owning art. Repeat pattern as a form has a rich history, from French Toile to Japanese Sashiko, and offers an opportunity to combine ordinary material goods with imagery that defies expectations or moves beyond purely aesthetic considerations. We will be building a library on our website of links to projects we feel exemplify our interest in artists' use of textiles in contemporary art.
To submit your proposal please email the following to hello@alulaeditions.com
•A short (1-3 paragraphs, 1 page max) written description of your idea
•5-10 images of past work that will help us understand the context for your idea or give us a general sense of your practice
•1-5 additional images (sketches, digital mock-ups, reference imagery) that you think will clarify your idea
**Images should be in jpg format, no larger than 1 MB each, size of entire email message should not exceed 8 MB.
We accept proposals on an ongoing basis, however, the deadline for inclusion in round one (Summer 2010 - Spring 2011) is April 28th, 2010.

The seventeenth in the series of international juried competitions dedicated to promoting the contemporary quilt by serving as a showcase for NEW work (completed after September 1, 2008) that provides the viewer with an appreciation of the variety of techniques and innovative trends in the medium of layered and stitched fabric. The jurors will select works that represent unique approaches to the medium and demonstrate the breadth and diversity of contemporary expressions. Visitors to Quilt National ’11 will see that the time-honored traditions are thriving and are being expressed in new forms as today’s artists rise to meet the challenges of new techniques and materials.
RULES AND REQUIREMENTS (truncated)
MATERIALS

It must be predominately fabric or fabric-like material and MUST be composed of at least two full and distinct layers – a face layer and a backing layer. The face layer may be described by any or a combination of the following terms: pieced, appliquéd, whole cloth, stitched/fused to a foundation. The face and backing layers must be held together by hand- or machine made functional quilting stitches or other elements that pierce all layers and are distributed throughout the surface of the work. At least some of these stitches or elements should be visible on the back of the work. As an alternative, the work may be a modular construction (an assemblage of smaller quilts). Each individual module, however, must meet the above structural criteria.
AUTHORSHIP
Artist must be 18 years or older. All work must be the result of independent effort. Work cannot be created for or the product of an instructional setting in which another artist or teacher has provided guidance and/or suggestions. The work must be an original design, not a copy or a variation on the original design of another artist working in any medium.
DATE & PUBLIC EXHIBITION OF WORK
All entries must be NEW work – completed after September 1, 2008. The recent modification of an older or previously dated work DOES NOT make the work eligible unless the artist can document significant differences between the original and revised versions of the piece.
ENTRY FEE: A non-refundable entry fee of $35.00 (U.S funds) must accompany the entry submission.

Book Power!
Deadline: May 14, 2010 (ONLINE)
Book Power!
Artist Books Addressing Our Social, Political or Environmental World
23 Sandy Gallery
Portland, Oregon
June 3-26, 2010
THEME – Book Power is seeking artist books addressing the social, political or environmental issues of our times. Can an artist book be a vehicle to shed light on the problems we face in the world? Can books be a call for change? Can we go beyond just artists who make things to artists who make things happen? War, poverty, decay, politics, conflict, revolution, feminism, environmental, economic and political upheaval are but a few of the issues that concerned book artists can use to engage their readers in an effort to raise consciousness, call for justice or provoke action. Perhaps we really can use our creative powers to solve the problems of the world.
MEDIA - This exhibit is open to hand bound book arts related artworks created as either edition or one-of-a-kind. Artist books, sculptural books, book objects, altered books, zines or broadsides are encouraged. Any medium, any style, any size.
BEST OF SHOW & CURATORS CHOICE AWARDS - One "Best of Show" and two "Curators Choice" certificates will be awarded for Book Power. These awards will be chosen by a special voting ballot that will be mailed with the printed catalog to our targeted institution list. We see this as another way to get librarians and curators excited and engaged with the show.
ONLINE CATALOG - 23 Sandy Gallery will publish a complete online catalog illustrating this exhibition. The online catalog will remain on our web site for at least three years and will include three photos of each work, production specs, an artist statement and artist biography.
PRINT CATALOG - A full-color, 40-50 page, printed catalog showcasing of all the books in this exhibition will also be produced. The print catalog will include one photo of each work, production specs, an artist statement and artist biography.
EXHIBITION DISPLAY - This exhibition will be displayed at 23 Sandy Gallery. We feel very strongly that artist books need to be handled to be fully appreciated. Handi-Wipes are provided for customers along with a friendly word about proper book handling.
ENTRIES - A maximum of three works may be submitted per artist. Entries must be received online no later than MAY 14, 2010. Artists accepted for the exhibition will be notified via email. The gallery reserves the right to decline any accepted artwork upon delivery if the condition or quality are other than represented in the electronic entry.
FEES - A $25 non-refundable entry fee covers up to three works and is payable upon submission.
INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS - Artists residing outside of the United States are welcome to enter this exhibition. The exhibition entry fee of $25 must be paid in US funds. Return shipping of all artwork will be handled via the carrier of your choice but you must provide pre-paid, ready-to-ship shipping labels and customs documents.

Prairie Excellence
a touring exhibition of the best in Prairie Fine Craft
Saskatoon, SK
Canada
3 TO 4 Year Tour
The Manitoba Crafts Council (MCC), Saskatchewan Craft Council (SCC) and Alberta Craft Council (ACC) are coming together to organize Prairie Excellence – a touring exhibition of the best in Prairie Fine Craft.
A total of 36 pieces will be selected for this exhibition (12 from each province). Prairie Excellence will highlight the today and tomorrow of prairie fine craft through the selection of pieces by craft artists in the following categories:
• Established craft artists
• Mid-Career craft artists
• Emerging craft artists
The exhibition will open at the ACC’s Feature Gallery and will subsequently tour for three years to galleries in the three prairie provinces, across Canada and into the United States. Artist fees at will be paid for each item in the exhibition.
Who can enter Prairie Excellence is open to all residents of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There will be an entry fee of $50 for every entrant who is not a member of the MCC, SCC or ACC.
What can be entered
• Entries will be new work (within the last two years) of original design and exceptional execution in any craft
medium.
• Each craft artist may enter two pieces. One entry may be a set. A collaborative work counts as one entry for each participant.
• One of a kind, limited edition, and production pieces are equally welcomed.
• There are no specific size restrictions however, since this is a touring exhibition, any piece too large, heavy
or fragile for safe shipping, may be rejected.
Selection Process
A three person Selection Committee will be responsible for selecting Prairie Excellence. The primary criteria for selection will be the creative and technical excellence of the entry. The selection Committee will also be able to consider, as secondary criteria:
• The representation of strengths in craft from each province,
• The mix of media in the exhibition,
• The logistics of travel and display,
• The aesthetic appeal of the exhibition as a whole.
The selection of pieces will be roughly equal between:
1. Emerging craft artists: less than five years of practice,
2. Mid-career craft artists: between five and 15 years of practice, and
3. Established craft artists: over 15 years of practice.
Entrants will “self-declare” their status in their entry. However, the Selection Committee will have the right to change this categorization based on their interpretation of the entrant’s cv.

2011-2012
Art League Houston is pleased to announce its 2011-2012 Open Call for Proposals. Curators and individual artists are encouraged to submit proposals for work consistent with the Art League Houston's mission and vision.
ABOUT THE OPEN CALL FOR PROPOSALS:
In 2005, Art League Houston began supporting the creation of new works by offering a $1,500 honorarium for exhibitions in our main gallery, to be used without restriction, such as to help defray shipping, travel, and material and framing costs. The open call for submissions is part of our continuing commitment to broadening accessibility to the visual arts for the community.
Each year, Art League Houston presents four to six major exhibitions in its main gallery, additional exhibitions in the adjacent Art League Project Gallery, and an undetermined number of outdoor exhibitions.
GUIDELINES FOR ARTIST AND INDEPENDENT CURATOR PROPOSALS: (truncated)
The Artist Proposal Opportunity is for individual artists or small groups wanting to be considered for inclusion in upcoming Art League Houston exhibitions. Work which has been shown in Texas will not be considered unless it has been significantly altered, either by changing the previous context or other means. ALH emphasizes new works. Emerging or mid-career visual artists may submit proposals for consideration.
The Independent Curator Proposal Opportunity is for the development and presentation of original and previously un-exhibited shows. Independent curators are the primary coordinator of their exhibit.
Proposal selection is based on the artistic merit of the work proposed, feasibility of the proposal and its relevance to the vision, mission, and goals of the Art League Houston. Curators and artists will be notified if their proposal has been selected in the fall of 2009. Art League Houston asks to hold submission packets for up to one full year.

Art in Odd Places

Art in Odd Places (AIOP) A project of GOH Productions
Along 14th Street New York City from Avenue C to the Hudson River
New York, New York
October 1-10, 2010
Art in Odd Places (AIOP) invites artists working across disciplines to propose projects for the festival's sixth installment. Taking place along 14th Street from Avenue C to the Hudson River in New York City, we encourage proposals that explore this location's rich history, configuration, and heterogeneous communities. The forthcoming edition of AIOP is informed by various interpretations of the term CHANCE, including proposition, luck, randomness, risk, and opportunity.
With emerging formats of communication, our culture has become a fertile ground for broad intersections between individuals, ideas and situations. This has resulted in unpredictable exchanges, relinquishment of control, surprise collaborations, and instances of spatial revelation.
AIOP 2010: CHANCE intends to provide passersby with a new perspective of an otherwise familiar environment through Site-specific installations, social and spatial interventions, video and audio projects, performance, new media, and other inventive practices. In addressing the distinct manifestations of chance, the festival aims to broaden the public’s outlook on art, city dwelling, and social conventions.
PROJECTS SHOULD:
1. Use imaginative approaches in engaging public spaces.
2. Move through crowds of pedestrians and vehicles continuously and effortlessly.
3. Consider 14th Street’s landmarks, neighborhood, multifaceted industries and communities.
4. Be presented in both anticipated and unpredictable locations.
PROJECTS SHOULD NOT:
1. Allow crowds to gather around the work.
2. At any time block the sidewalk and/or street.
AIOP OFFERS ARTISTS:
1. Press opportunities.
2. Website with artist’s project info, bio and link to artist’s own website.
3. Program guides with project information distributed throughout Lower Manhattan and beyond.
4. Project consultation.
