Call for Stitched Art
Home is Where the Needle Marks
Pop Tart Gallery
Los Angeles, CA
June 2 - July 14, 2012
Home - a place of safety or danger? a haven, a place full of shame, where you want to be, a room of old routines and identities... anywhere you hang your hat? How does the word home resonate for you?
“Home is Where the Needle Marks,” at Pop Tart Gallery in Los Angeles, will explore the concept of home and all that the word connotes, highlighting the contrast of contemporary artists using stitch vs. preconceived notions of “home sweet home.”
We ask artists to submit works that deal with the idea of home. Feel free to interpret this theme widely. All types of stitched work are welcome for submission: knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, needlepoint, quilting, applique... if it’s stitched, please submit.
Please note, we are looking for contemporary interpretations of theme and medium.
Eligibility:
- all artists over age 18 are eligible
- work can utilize any medium, but must primarily use stitching
- large scale, installation, site specific, video, silk screen, and performance work are welcome
- work must be original and created after 2006
