Hello Readers:
We have had A LOT going on behind the scenes here at FACFE. Of course, we still have many items to complete on our work list but it's time for a much needed SUMMER BREAK. We'll be on hiatus until September 1, 2010. When we return, we hope to bring you the new features we'd planned earlier in the year.
Cheers,
Elise N., Editor in Chief

Yep, sometimes we goof!
We just removed the following post from our listings:

Small Tapestry International 2: Passages
American Tapestry Alliance
San Jose, CA
Spring through Fall 2011
Passage is the act of passing from one place, condition, etc. to another, the route one travels. ATA invites artists to use innovative approaches that push the technical or conceptual meaning of the term in their submissions to the ATA's biennial juried small format exhibition. Innovation and experimentation within the technique of tapestry are welcomed. The American Tapestry Alliance is a not-for-profit, member-supported organization seeking to exhibit the best of contemporary tapestry. The small format exhibition gives artists an opportunity to explore ideas and processes in new ways while preserving the qualities of handwoven tapestry.
Eligibility:
Entry to Passages is open to all tapestry artists who design and weave their own tapestries (defined as "hand-woven, weft-faced fabric with discontinuous wefts"), either individually or collaboratively (all assistants shall be named). Multimedia work will be considered as long as the primary medium is tapestry. Entries must be one-of-a-kind and have been completed after January 2009. Artists may submit up to three entries.
Size Restrictions: The size of the tapestry may not exceed a total of 100 square inches (625 square cm) and cannot exceed 20 inches (50 cm) in any one dimension. Three-dimensional pieces may not exceed 10 inches (25 cms) in height, length, or depth. Tapestries must be mounted and/or framed. If the mount or frame is meant to show when hung, that treatment must be shown in the entry image and must be in keeping with the small-format theme. If accepted, the work must arrive ready to hang.
Submissions
Image quality may influence the juror's decision. Only completed tapestries will be juried. Submissions
must be digital. For each entry, submit one jpeg of the entire tapestry and one jpeg of a detail.

The Wearable Art Awards is not a fashion show, it is a multi-media performance where the human body becomes a living, breathing, moving canvas. We are looking for more than a “pretty dress.” We are asking you to go deep into your imagination to create a wearable piece of art that challenges what most consider to be wearable, or everyday fashion.
The Wearable Art Awards is committed to challenging artists of all mediums to push their imaginations to create evocative, imaginative and thought provoking sculpture for the human body.
Jurying
Entries will be judged based on the following criteria weighted in favour of “wow” factor and conceptual message:
All entries must be wearable (but not necessarily practical);
Creativity and originality (not streetwear);
Design and the use of multiple elements and techniques;
Quality of workmanship and construction;
Overall presentation focused on “wow” factor; and
Conceptual meaning and impact.
Categories
An entry must fall into one of the following three form-based categories. Cash prizes will be presented to category winners as determined by the jury.
Brassiere
