some things looming, a fiber arts community dedicated to the promotion of the art form in Berks County, PA and beyond is proud to present:

simply irRESISTible
an exhibition of all things textile incorporating resist dyeing techniques

Artists throughout the ages have used many methods to "resist" or prevent dye from reaching all areas of their cloth...creating patterns and ground color.
Artists are encouraged to submit work for this salon-style exhibition which aims to highlight what is innovative and extraordinary in the field of resist dying techniques as it pertains to textiles.
If you work with wax or paste resist... or, a mechanical resist that manipulates the cloth such as tying or stitching... or yet another form of resist technique involving chemical agents that repel another type of dye printed over the top...or a technique all together different, yet resist-related... this exhibition is for you!

Rules for Entry: (truncated)
- All work must be original, one-of-a-kind, made by the artist submitting entry.
- Artists may submit up to a maximum of three images, completed within the last three years, to be in the exhibition. 2-D work must be 40" x 40" or less, 3-D work on pedestals no larger than 18" x 18" x 18". Freestanding works will be accepted. No large installations can be considered. Yardage is acceptable.
- Selected artists are responsible for costs of shipping their work to and from the gallery.
- Entry fee is $25.

This show highlights how creative artists can recycle or re-purpose materials into works of art or craft. The works may be purely works of art; or artful, practical crafts or tools. They may also be homage’s to tragic events such as fires, or celebrations such as weddings and anniversaries. The works can be of virtually any material, but most reflect inventiveness and creativity.

5. The work projects not more than 12” from the wall, and is no smaller than 12” x 12” or larger than 72” x 72”; OR be a freestanding work. Discuss exceptions to these standards with the Arts Council staff before submitting work.
6. The content of the work is appropriate for the work place in which the gallery is located.

ARTWORK PREPARATION
All art must be clean and ready for display. It should be framed professionally. Submissions on stretched canvas can be submitted without framing if the edges are clean or painted as a continuation of the front image.

SALES
