Deadline: June 25, 2010 Due by 5pm EST
Writing on the Walls
Desotorow Gallery
Savannah, GA
July 16 to July 28, 2010
Theme: The act of writing a list, sending a personal letter and even passing a note have become few and far between in the digital age. An E-mail or a text message, however efficient, no longer hold that personal touch. Handwriting is so specific to an individual that this form of expression within itself seems to have been left behind by contemporary telecommunications. Writing style is dynamic: an unfinished work to be modified, revised, and shaped over a lifetime. Writing on the Walls examines and celebrates the personal idiosyncrasies of the art of handwriting through various mediums: letters, notes, grocery lists, and other organic print pieces that continues to exist despite today's increased use of digital methods. We invite you to join us in our exploration of the ever disappearing art of the written word.
Eligibility: This juried exhibition is open to national and international artists (professional, emerging, and student).
Media/Genre: Open to works of all genres and media.
Entry Fee: You may submit up to three pieces for a non-refundable entry fee of $20 The entry fee may be paid online or with cash, check, or money order.
Sale of Work: Desotorow Gallery, Inc. will not take commission on the sale of artwork. Payment will be made directly to artists.

The Art of Craft
Deadline: November 17, 2010 5:00pm (RECEIVE)
The Art of Craft
Ventura County Arts Council
Atrium Gallery
Ventura, CA
December 3, 2010 to January 18, 2011
Theme - The line between “art” and “craft” is a fine one. Everyone draws the line differently. This show is intended to expose the public to the array of crafts produced in Ventura County; not only in the range of different materials (such as wood, fiber, clay, etc.), but also in the diverse ways in which a given material is used. This show highlights how creative artists can fashion diverse materials into artful crafts that are practical and fanciful.
Selection Process & Awards - The Arts Council will curate the show, but welcomes the submission of work for consideration if the artist/craftsman believes his/her work meets the show theme. The Council will endeavor to indentify and include the work of those who have not exhibited at the Atrium Gallery before. No prizes will be awarded.
No Entry Fee.
The Ventura County Government Center Community Art Gallery is a program operated by the Ventura County Arts Council (VCAC). VCAC has been working in partnership with the County Board of Supervisors and Administrative Staff to exhibit non-commercial art within the Hall of Administration.

The Art of Craft
Ventura County Arts Council
Atrium Gallery
Ventura, CA
December 3, 2010 to January 18, 2011
Theme - The line between “art” and “craft” is a fine one. Everyone draws the line differently. This show is intended to expose the public to the array of crafts produced in Ventura County; not only in the range of different materials (such as wood, fiber, clay, etc.), but also in the diverse ways in which a given material is used. This show highlights how creative artists can fashion diverse materials into artful crafts that are practical and fanciful.
Selection Process & Awards - The Arts Council will curate the show, but welcomes the submission of work for consideration if the artist/craftsman believes his/her work meets the show theme. The Council will endeavor to indentify and include the work of those who have not exhibited at the Atrium Gallery before. No prizes will be awarded.
No Entry Fee.

International Biennial of Contemporary Textile Art -- WTA -- Mexico 2011
Two Deadlines: (RECEIVE)
December 15, 2010 [All Salons except below]
February 15, 2011 [Salon for Collaborative Textiles-REDES (Nets)] ONLY
VI INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL OF TEXTILE ART MEXICO 2011
World Textile Art Organization
XALAPA, MEXICO CITY and OAXACA
Mexico
May 16 - 31,2011
Without deviating from our intended course, World Textile Art (WTA) is working relentlessly towards a stronger promotion of any shape, content, and form of contemporary textile art.
The challenge that WTA has, is a major one – to open an unexplored path that ties its recurrent promotions of textile art to an adequate bridge that benefits, contemporary artistic creativities on the American continents as for the rest of the world.
Each WTA Biennial takes on characteristics and idiosyncrasies of its host country, for which no two are alike. The VI International Biennial of Contemporary Textile Art WTA – AIR will have unique qualities corresponding to Mexico, a land where textile activity is extended throughout its regions. Ancestral traditions vie for coexistence amidst the clashes wrought by imposed globalized contemporaneity.
Mexico is the land of Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent. And like this mythic creature that brings wisdom and creativity to Mesoamerican peoples, the VI International Biennial of Contemporary Textile Art WTA –AIR will thread a serpentine path through the country. It will span three cities – Mexico City, Xalapa and Oaxaca – as the Biennial events occur in stages in the distinct venues. Each one will be memorable and unique.
The VI International Biennial of Contemporary Textile Art WTA –AIR will integrate different media which are part of the contemporary arts and of textiles. It carries this precept from the previous Biennial: the challenge to resignify the very concept of ‘textile art’ - strengthening the different investigations that hybridize explorations and question categories while maintaining textiles as the integrating concept.
Yet the VI International Biennial of Contemporary Textile Art WTA – AIR strives to open up even more spaces for participation. Six different Calls for Entries to the six distinct Textile Art Salons are in accord with different ways of expressing and working through textiles – be it by size, type of work, technique, concept or media. Accessible to every interested artist, projects do not compete with different types of works, but are placed in their own category, amidst peers.
