Radisson Hotel
Kalamazoo, Michigan

Blurred Boundaries Mixed Media Art Exhibition is a juried exhibit that seeks to exhibit artwork that combines various techniques from different mediums. The 2010 show will focus on surface design.
Surface design is defined as the decoration of a surface through various coloring and pattern making techniques. These include but are not limited to screen printing, mono printing, dyeing, stitching, woodcut prints, linocuts, stamping, image transfer, and lithography. (Techniques do NOT have to be one of the listed above, they are simply given as examples to help clarify the focus of the exhibit.)
Blurred Boundaries seeks work that uses surface design as a focal point to the work. The exhibit is open to the U.S. and international participants.
The juror for the 2010 exhibit is Jeanne Williamson. Jeanne combines various surface design techniques in her work.
The exhibit will be displayed during the Fabrications Retreat in Kalamazoo, Michigan from August 30 - September 3, 2010. The Fabrications Retreat is a week long retreat focusing on various fiber art classes. The full listing available on website.
