Call for Fiber Art
Play- fun or jest... a game? a toy? a bully? a tease? a hair pull? a game of tag? a snowball fight? a kick and pinch?
Play is an experience we all know one that can bring us laughter and perhaps at times bring us tears.
In the spring exhibit, Play, at the Textile Arts Center, May-June 2011, we want to explore play and all of its multifaceted sides and experiences. We ask artists whom work in fibers or fiber techniques to submit works that deal with the idea of play. Feel free to interpret this theme widely. All types of work are welcome for submission: performance, video, wall work, sculpture, conceptual or interactive. Please note we are looking for contemporary interpretations of fiber and textiles.
