Fashion Art Toronto
Toronto, ON
Canada
Festival Dates: 24-28 April 2012
In its seventh year, Toronto Arts & Fashion Week has a mandate of showcasing artistic disciplines rooted in fashion and their exploration of the notion of clothing and the body in today's time.
The festival emphasizes this mandate through the showcase of fiber based work, photography, installation, film, video, mixed media, performance, installation and fashion design, in an effort to push forward and redefine our perception of the fashion phenomenon.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN
Toronto Arts & Fashion Week invites fashion designers and artists to submit proposals for the 2012 programming. Any mediums, materials, messages, visual presentations and performance used to deal with fashion in a new, exciting and unorthodox way are all encouraged to be explored.
Submitted proposals should reflect on the notion of clothing, the body, fashion and the 2012 thematic focus 'fashionSCAPES'
2012 THEMATIC APPROACH:
The 2012 theme fashionSCAPES mirrors the notion of landscapes; vast, unique, seasonal and ever changing. Artists are invited to respond to fashionSCAPES by investigating one of four sub themes set out for each evening by the festival; land, city, body, future.

Center on Contemporary Art: 2011 Annual Juried Exhibition
Deadline: December 4, 2011 (ONLINE)
2011 Annual Juried Exhibition
Center on Contemporary Art
Seattle, WA
December 29, 2011 - March 18, 2012
From December 29, 2011 - March 18, 2012, CoCA will present its 22nd annual juried exhibition seeking work from emerging as well as established artists in a wide variety of visual media. While there is no theme this year as such, we're hunting for work that experiments and explores in general, crossing disciplinary boundaries, challenging established notions of time and space, cultural production, and the objet d'art itself.
CoCA has presented the Annual since 1989, each time inviting an independent juror to select the work from among the entries received. For this year's 22nd anniversary of the show, CoCA is proud to have Gary Hill as juror.
Artists in any region and any country are welcome to submit. Two-dimensional, three-dimensional and multi-media work will be considered. A $500 first prize and a $250 second prize will be awarded by the juror, as well as up to two "honorable mentions" featured on CoCA's website. A catalog of the show will feature artists' statements, biographies, and images, as well as an introductory essay by Gary Hill. In addition to having all participating artists archived on CoCA's website, there will also be an opportunity to place work in CoCA's new online store.
Entry Fee: $15 (US) (PayPal)
Download the Call for Artists: www.cocaseattle.org/2011_CoCA_Annual_call.pdf

2011 Annual Juried Exhibition
Center on Contemporary Art
Seattle, WA
December 29, 2011 - March 18, 2012
From December 29, 2011 - March 18, 2012, CoCA will present its 22nd annual juried exhibition seeking work from emerging as well as established artists in a wide variety of visual media. While there is no theme this year as such, we're hunting for work that experiments and explores in general, crossing disciplinary boundaries, challenging established notions of time and space, cultural production, and the objet d'art itself.
CoCA has presented the Annual since 1989, each time inviting an independent juror to select the work from among the entries received. For this year's 22nd anniversary of the show, CoCA is proud to have Gary Hill as juror.
Artists in any region and any country are welcome to submit. Two-dimensional, three-dimensional and multi-media work will be considered. A $500 first prize and a $250 second prize will be awarded by the juror, as well as up to two "honorable mentions" featured on CoCA's website. A catalog of the show will feature artists' statements, biographies, and images, as well as an introductory essay by Gary Hill. In addition to having all participating artists archived on CoCA's website, there will also be an opportunity to place work in CoCA's new online store.
Entry Fee: $15 (US) (PayPal)

World of Threads Festival:Fibre Inspired
Deadline: January 31, 2012 (RECEIVE) or (Hand Delivery) or (EMAIL)
Fibre Inspired
World of Threads Festival
Oakville, Ontario
Canada
The Common Thread International exhibitions are the flagship shows of the World of Threads Festival. The intention is to bring international contemporary fibre art to Oakville and the Toronto area and highlight the strength of our local artists.
Artists from around the world are invited to submit to this Call for Submission for a “Fibre Inspired” Exhibition.
Festival Curator, Gareth Bate, has observed a trend in international fibre art towards work that engages fibre techniques or the history of fibre arts, yet is made of non-fibre materials such as paint, plastics and found objects, etc.
He will be curating an exhibition that specifically features work that is NOT made of fibre materials but instead uses other media. Work can be made of anything (including performance and video) but is should be evident how it relates to the theme of “Fibre Inspired”. This could involve an engagement with sewing or tapestry techniques, or the overall effect could resemble fibre arts in some way. We are open-minded.
If you have any questions contact Curator: Gareth Bate at contact@garethbate.com
Eligibility

•All Work should be made after Sept. 2009 (the date of our last festival)

What Counts as Fibre Art?
Fibre art is incredibly diverse and our definition is continuously shifting. We are open-minded. Our website has hundreds of examples of fibre art work located under Artist Interviews and Artwork.
Generally fibre art is made from perishable materials that use traditional techniques that include, sewing, tapestry and papermaking. However, more and more artists are using synthetic materials.

Thompson Gallery
The Cambridge School of Weston
Weston, MA
Three exhibitions: 2012/2013
2012 marks the centennial of the appearance of collage in painting. In that time, collage has become ubiquitous within contemporary art and culture, and its myriad applications have arguably expanded its original definition to become the most inclusive of artistic processes. Collage at 100 is a three-part exhibition series that opens in September of 2012 and runs through June of 2013. All media considered. The series aims to explore collage within contemporary art practices as much as it endeavors to examine the conceptual and political manifestations of this evolving artistic strategy.
Eligibility
All works must be original and collage-based—anything that involves either an analog or virtual combination of images and/or objects. Glue and fasteners of any type are anticipated, however, these per se are not a prerequisite. All media will be considered. The gallery reserves the right to reject work that differs from submitted images. Preference will be given to any work created in the last three years.
Each entrant may submit up to ten individual works total, and may, if need be, submit up to five detail images per entry for communicating alternate views — in cases of sculpture or installation entries, etc.
How to Apply (truncated)
1. Only online applications will be accepted.
2. The Thompson Gallery uses Entrythingy,® a digital call for entries system.

Founded to serve as a facilitator for independent local art, City Center Gallery recognizes and assists emerging Columbus artists who are forging innovative careers and expanding conceptual practices. City Center Gallery welcomes exhibition proposals from emerging greater Columbus area artists or groups in any discipline.
THE GALLERY
City Center Gallery at the OSU Urban Arts Space is an opportunity for emerging artists to display their art and launch their careers. Operated and juried entirely by OSU students from arts and non-arts disciplines, City Center Gallery grants funding to selected artists or artist groups and presents a month-long exhibition located in the corridor space at the entrance of the OSU Urban Arts Space. Artists who display in City Center Gallery will have the unique opportunity to exhibit work in a professional setting and gain real-world knowledge in the operations of galleries. By assisting artists in the Columbus community, the OSU Urban Arts Space hopes to create a new artistic destination for both artists and residents of Columbus, Ohio.
THE CALL
Any greater Columbus area artist or artist group can submit his/her concept and artwork during open application periods. All mediums of art are eligible; these include, but are not limited to, visual, performing, literary, and cinematic arts. Selected artists will receive a need-based grant of up to $500 to fund the proposed exhibition. In addition, student staff members will work with the artists throughout the preparation and duration of the exhibition. These efforts include exhibition layout, installation and promotions, among others. Artists will be notified no less than sixty days before the proposed exhibition date and will be allotted three days to install, one month to exhibit, and one day to strike.
Individual artists are limited to one accepted proposal per year; however, individual artists are permitted to exhibit in a collaborative or group exhibition for a total of two accepted proposals per year.
