The gallery has 8’ storefront windows on the full eastern street side, 26 running feet of wall space on north side and 32 feet on west side. The ceiling height is approximately 12 feet.

Embroidery Magazine

Embroidery welcomes editorial submissions. The best way to submit articles and story pitches is via e-mail to the Editor, writing the words 'Editorial Submission', following by your subject in the subject line of the email.
If you wish to contribute to Embroidery magazine, please spend some time familiarising yourself with our features and consider our tone. We aim for a mix of informative and inspiring reading related to textiles and embroidery.
Editorial submissions
If you have an idea that you would like to share with us, please send an outline of your feature idea in plain text in the body of your email, rather than as an attached file, as we may not be able to read the format. Please describe the feature, outlining the main points and how you will tackle your subject. The maximum word length we publish is 1,000 words but we reserve the right to edit all final submissions.
All final submitted work must be the original work of the author, and any references to previously published material should be included in full along with the final text.
Please note that we work at least three months in advance of the publication date and often commission earlier so we can't preview (or write a news story or list) an exhibition starting next week, or even next month (particularly true for exhibitions that are open for short periods) although we will list you on our website.
Good images can make the difference between commissioning, and not commissioning your piece. Before commissioning, we must be assured that publishing-quality images are available, and that we can obtain written copyright clearance. If we like your idea, we will ask you to send hi-res digital images or transparencies to us for consideration (see image guidelines below). Please always include a SAE for the return of any images, copy etc., included in your proposal.

Submitting a Book Proposal
Lark Books
Asheville, NC
If you’ve got an idea that you’d love to see in print, we’re happy to consider any book proposals on craft and leisure activity topics.
Craft & Core List Books
At present, our list is composed primarily of reference and how-to books with step-by-step instructions on practical subjects including: ceramics; crafts; pets; and other lifestyle topics.
We currently do not publish fiction, and we rarely publish non-illustrated books.
Submission Guidelines in Two Stages:
1) QUERY
Please write to us explaining your idea in detail. What is the book about? Who is the audience? What techniques will the book cover? If the book contains projects, how many do you think there will be? What are some examples of what those projects might be?
Be sure to include information about yourself with particular regard to your skills and qualifications in the subject area of your submission. We need to know that you have substantial expertise on the topic of the proposed book – that we can trust you to know what you’re talking about. If you have a resume outlining your education, writing and/or teaching experience, please send that along as well. Please send along images of your work or a link to a web site showcasing your work.
If you have sent your proposal to other publishers, please let us know.
Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Also include a stamped, self-addressed envelope, so materials can be returned to you.
2) PROPOSAL
If we’re interested in your query, we’ll ask you for a complete proposal, which includes: (1) a table of contents, (2) an introduction to the book, (3) a sample chapter or sample set of instructions, (4) tear sheets (if you’ve been published before), (5) a list of the books on this topic that are currently in print, and (6) details on how your book would differ from them.
You can, of course, skip the query and simply send us a full proposal, but we advise against it.
Please note that, due to the volume of mail received, we cannot guarantee the return of unsolicited material. Please do not send original art or irreplaceable work of any kind; while we will make every effort to return your submissions, we are not responsible for any loss or damage.
Submissions should be sent to the attention of the category editor, e.g., the material on a ceramics book should be addressed to the Ceramics Editor; a craft book proposal should be addressed to the Craft Acquisitions Editor; and so on. Lark Books no longer publishes children’s titles.

Textile Society of America: 13th Biennial Symposium
Deadline: October 1, 2011(RECEIVE)
Abstract Submission
The 13th Biennial Symposium
Textile Society of America
Washington, DC
September 19-22, 2012
The 13th Biennial Symposium of the Textile Society of America will take place in Washington, DC September 19-22, 2012. The theme of Textiles & Politics befits the symposium venue in the U.S. capital and will generate lively discussion about the myriad ways in which textiles pervade our lives.
Throughout human history and around the globe, whether as intimate artifacts of interpersonal relations or state-level monumental works, textiles have been imbued with political importance. Political influences on textiles range from complex international trade agreements to the simple yet powerful act of banners carried in street parades and protests.
Textiles & Politics will explore the ways in which politics influence the aesthetics, production, materials, uses, and countless other aspects of textiles (and vice versa).
We seek presentations from all textile-related disciplines and interdisciplinary areas, including but not limited to anthropology, art, art history, conservation, cultural geography, design, economics, ethnic studies, history, linguistics, marketing, mathematics, political science, and theater. TSA encourages both organized sessions and individual papers from scholars, researchers, artists, gallery and museum professionals, and aficionados from around the world.
TSA Membership Requirement
All persons submitting proposals for participation in the 2012 symposium must be TSA members in good standing for 2011 at the time of submission. Non-member applicants may join TSA at the time of proposal submission. If extenuating circumstances exist, please write to the Symposium Planning Committee at tsa2012symposium@gmail.com.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All submissions should be based on original research, reflecting material not previously published. In submitting an abstract, the author explicitly authorizes its use on the TSA website and in the published Symposium Program and Proceedings.
All submissions must be made online through the Textile Society of America website. Results of the selection process will be sent electronically.
To submit your proposal go to http://www.textilesociety.org/symposia_2012.htm and follow the onscreen instructions. Submissions will be accepted from mid-July through October 1, 2011.

Throughout human history and around the globe, whether as intimate artifacts of interpersonal relations or state-level monumental works, textiles have been imbued with political importance. Political influences on textiles range from complex international trade agreements to the simple yet powerful act of banners carried in street parades and protests.
Textiles & Politics will explore the ways in which politics influence the aesthetics, production, materials, uses, and countless other aspects of textiles (and vice versa).
We seek presentations from all textile-related disciplines and interdisciplinary areas, including but not limited to anthropology, art, art history, conservation, cultural geography, design, economics, ethnic studies, history, linguistics, marketing, mathematics, political science, and theater. TSA encourages both organized sessions and individual papers from scholars, researchers, artists, gallery and museum professionals, and aficionados from around the world.

All persons submitting proposals for participation in the 2012 symposium must be TSA members in good standing for 2011 at the time of submission. Non-member applicants may join TSA at the time of proposal submission. If extenuating circumstances exist, please write to the Symposium Planning Committee at tsa2012symposium@gmail.com.

Wearable Art Awards
Port Moody Arts Centre

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.

Brooklyn Artists Gym: Collaborations
Deadline: December 18, 2012 (ONLINE)
Open Call: Collaborations
Brooklyn Artists Gym
Brooklyn NY
January 28, 2012 to February 6, 2012
‘Collaborations’
Christo and Jeanne Claude. McCartney and Lennon. Cookies and milk. In collaboration, sometimes a sum is greater than its individual parts.
Compelling works of art have often been produced by the meeting of two creative minds, or as a result of one artist’s exposure to the work of another. Historically, schools of art were a breeding ground for new ideas, where artists could learn from their masters and grow from one another, bringing the large world in a little closer. To share images and ideas over distances was difficult, but expected as part of one’s training. It was simply a stepping stone to individual fame.
In the age of Flikr, FaceBook, and hostyourdomain.com, artists may now share their work with the world at the touch of a button. We can choose to bridge an ocean in an instant, or to isolate our work entirely. It is entirely ours to decide. So the choice to collaborate may now be deliberate; choosing to ‘share’ can be more profound than an RSS feed, more mindful than physical proximity, and more creative than working alone. How have you combined your work, your world, and your vision with that of another artist? What have you chosen to create together? We are interested in seeing what the meeting of your creative minds has produced.
For our ‘Collaboration’ show, all entries must be the combined work of two or more artists. Please briefly indicate in your artists’ statement the nature of your collaboration, as well as a 1-2 paragraph explanation of your work.
Open to all media.
Requirements:
* Your application fee covers submission of up to three finished pieces.
* All submitted work must be no larger than 8′ tall and/or 8′ wide. Unless otherwise stated, large or structurally-invasive installations cannot be considered due to the size of our gallery.
* All artwork must be ready to hang or install.
* If you plan to frame your work, it must be a neutral frame (white, black, or natural wood not exceeding the size of the work by more than 3″ on any side) unless otherwise noted in your application. More elaborate framing is welcome as long as it is integral to the piece, and indicated in your images or application.
* Both US and international artists are welcome to apply as long as their work can arrive in the gallery on time. Shipping costs will be your own responsibility.
* If you would like insurance on your work, that is your own responsibility.
* BAG receives a 30% commission on any sales made during the show.
Application Fee: $20.00

Lark Crafts: 500 Paper Objects
Deadline:
500 Paper Objects
Lark Crafts
Asheville, NC
Publishing Opportunity
Juror: Gene McHugh, Kress Fellow, Whitney Museum of American Art
Lark Crafts seeks images to publish a juried collection of paper objects. Each piece must prominently feature paper. Materials other than paper may be included, but paper must be the focus and should occupy roughly 80% of the piece. The collection will feature a wide variety of techniques (ex: origami, kirigami, folding, tearing, cutting, stitching, quilling, papier mache, casting) and forms (sculpture, installations, jewelry, fashion, wall pieces, vessels, toys, etc.) with a wide variety of textures and colors. All paper forms will be considered, and we welcome up to four submissions per artist.
We can only accept high-quality digital images (no slides or transparencies). There is no entry fee. Artists will receive full acknowledgment within the book, one complimentary copy, and discounts on the purchase of additional books. Artists retain copyright of their work.
NOTE: Pay close attention to the photographic requirements. Submissions that do not meet the requirements will not be considered.
Entries must be postmarked by September 26, 2011.
Important: Lark Crafts will only publish photos of entries containing text and images that are free of copyright or for which the artist (or approved institution) holds copyright.
All visuals submitted must represent work that is original in design. Please choose work that reflects the book’s concept. A maximum of four entries per artist is allowed. An entry may consist of no more than two visuals: an overall shot and one detail (or alternate view). All entries must be mailed in the same packet. We do not accept e-mailed submissions.
PHOTOGRAPHY
As this is a gallery book, we can’t stress enough the importance of excellent quality images. We strongly recommend having professional photography done to best showcase your work.
We prefer images of pieces that have not been published previously, and please do NOT submit images of pieces that have been published in any Lark book. Recent work is strongly preferred.

Richmond Art Gallery: Mail Art Exhibition
Deadline: October 1, 2011 (RECEIVE)
International Mail Art Exhibition & Swap
Richmond Art Gallery
Richmond, BC
Canada
November 17, 2011 – January 8, 2012
Artists from all over the world are invited to contribute their work for the Richmond Art Gallery’s Mail Art Exhibition and Swap. This exhibition is intended to be a cultural exchange, where artists exhibit their works and receive new works as part of a swap. This shared enterprise is free from the rules of the art market, and yet we ask artists to respond to the theme of “economy” in all its forms.
Mail Art (aka Postal Art) is an art form where artists exchange artworks and correspondence through the mail to one another. The historical roots of Mail Art can be traced back to the Fluxus art movement of the 1960s, where several artists associated with the Fluxus movement began to work with Mail Art as the non-commercial exchange of creative ideas, correspondence and images in mailable formats that existed outside of the gallery system. In the 1970s Mail Art grew as an international art movement, and continues on nowadays with the help of the internet.
Theme: Economy
Technique: OPEN
Size: 5” x 5” (120 mmx 120 mm) – only works of this size will be accepted
Include: Full name, Address, Country, Title of work, Medium, Year, E-mail address
$3 CDN (or equivalent) for return postage, or SASE from Canada

Lark Crafts: 500 Lights
Deadline: March 1, 2012 (POSTMARK)
500 Lights
Lark Crafts
Asheville, NC
Publishing Opportunity
Lark is seeking images to publish in a juried collection of handcrafted lights. The juror will be Christopher Poehlmann, owner of CP Lighting, an internationally regarded company producing handcrafted decorative light fixtures for over 20 years. 500 Lights will be published in Spring 2013. You may submit up to four entries. There is no entry fee. Entries must be postmarked by March 01, 2012.
Submissions may include chandeliers, lamps, sconces, pendants, and installations. Lights must be designed and built by individual designers and/or small shops as unique objects, limited editions, or customized originals. Work may be created from any material including but not limited to: paper, metal, plastic, wood, fiber, neon, ceramic, glass, and found objects. Artists and Designers applying may utilize any method of working available to the small shop from handwork to CNC fabrication. Electric-powered lamps are preferred, though we will also consider battery-operated lamps and possibly candle-lit pieces, but absolutely no candles by themselves. We are looking to publish a body of work that showcases the wide variety of creative talent in the art and design world as it applies to the human need for light: the
continuum between Art and Design, Form and Function, Handcraft and High Tech.
The juror will be Christopher Poehlmann, owner of CP Lighting, an internationally regarded company producing handcrafted decorative light fixtures for over 20 years.
We can accept only high-quality digital images (no slides or transparencies). There is no entry fee. Artists will receive full acknowledgment within the book, one complimentary copy, and discounts on the purchase of additional books. Artists retain copyright of their work. You may enter up to four pieces. As we’re especially interested in the exact process used, the juror may contact you directly with follow-up questions regarding submitted work for more details regarding the techniques utilized.
PHOTOGRAPHY
As this is a gallery book we can’t stress enough the importance of excellent quality images. We often advise artists that it can be worth having professional photography done even if their pieces end up not being juried into the book, because then they have professional images available for various marketing uses—for website, business cards, brochures, submissions in competitions, etc.) We prefer images of pieces that have not been published previously, and please do NOT
submit images of pieces that have been published in any Lark book. Recent work is strongly preferred.

Income from this endowed fund, established in 2011 by poet and artist Helen M. Salzberg, will enable artists working in the Book Arts to come to the Jaffe Center on a semester basis to work and teach at the center. While here, the artist will produce a creative project using JCBA studios and also teach a workshop for FAU students and the general public and mentor FAU students as his or her schedule allows. We are excited about the opportunity for our students to work alongside highly talented and creative book artists.
Two residencies will be awarded each academic year: one in the fall semester and one in the spring semester. The Artist in Residence (AIR) selected each semester will get his or her own office at JCBA and full use of the JCBA studios (papermaking, letterpress and book studios). The artist's residency will last for 12 weeks, though shorter or longer residencies may be accommodated as needed. In the application process, if an artist has a particularly ambitious creative project in mind, the artist may apply for a residency that would encompass two semesters. Should the two-semester residency be awarded in this case, the artist would be expected to teach one workshop in each semester.
The AIR will receive a stipend of $5,000 for the semester. The artist is responsible for transportation, housing, parking, meals and materials for his or her creative project. JCBA will provide materials for workshops.
The residency for the Spring Semester 2012 is expected to take place within the period of January 7, 2012 through May 4, 2012.
CREATIVE PROJECT GUIDELINES
The AIR is expected to complete a Creative Project while in residency at JCBA. We are open to all Creative Project ideas, but the project should include some aspect of the book arts. A limited edition book is a logical Creative Project, but we will gladly consider other projects that somehow incorporate paper or print or creative approaches to the book arts. We have a very broad definition of the Book at JCBA, and we welcome each artist's unique approach and perspective. If you think there's a connection, there probably is.
WORKSHOPS
The AIR will teach a workshop, and depending on the nature of the workshop, it may be one that meets for one or two intensive days or it may be one that meets over the course of the semester. The workshop would most likely be one that covers some aspect of the book arts in handmade paper, paper decoration, print or binding, but again, we are open to other concepts, too.
STUDIO EQUIPMENT
JCBA studios will be open and available for the AIR's use and for the workshop taught by the AIR. (The list of available equipment in each studio is availaible on the website.)
APPLICATION
Artists who wish to compete for consideration for this prestigious opportunity must submit their application and support materials for review by a JCBA panel comprised of book artists and book arts enthusiasts. Your application packet must be submitted via post or delivered in person to JCBA and should include the following:
1. Completed application, or suitable cover letter that supplies the same information requested on the pdf.
2. Brief narrative of the creative project you envision.
3. Brief narrative of the workshop you would like to teach.
4. Current resume.
5. Any support materials you care to include: we welcome images of your work, sketches for the creative project, video... be creative and have fun.
All applications will be weighed equally by our panel.

Helen M. Salzberg Artist in Residence Program
Spring Semester 2012
Jaffe Center for Book Arts
Florida Atlantic University
Boca Raton, Florida
January 7, 2012 through May 4, 2012
Florida Atlantic University proudly announces the Helen M. Salzberg Artist in Residence Program in coordination with the Jaffe Center for Book Arts for Spring Semester 2012. JCBA is located at Florida Atlantic University's Wimberly Library. The center revolves around a core collection of artists' books and its educational mission focuses on all aspects of the book arts, including hand papermaking and paper decoration, letterpress printing and alternative print techniques, and bookbinding in its traditional form as well as contemporary book structures.
Income from this endowed fund, established in 2011 by poet and artist Helen M. Salzberg, will enable artists working in the Book Arts to come to the Jaffe Center on a semester basis to work and teach at the center.
