Gadgets and More
Hello Readers:
Here we are just 24 days away from a brand new year. I can barely believe it!! We've had so much going on behind the scenes that it feels as if this year has just flown by. Yet, there's plenty of stuff we still need to share in these waning days of 2012.
First, we have a new addition to our sidebar, Google Translate. This charming little gadget will help readers of other languages have a better experience on our site. Second, the FOLLOW gadget, powered by Google Friend Connect, has been restored to the site but this time it appears as the footer. We currently have 247 FACFE FABULOUS Friends--feel free to join at anytime. Just use Google, Twitter, Yahoo, AIM, Netlog, OpenID to sign in OR create a Google Account to join.
As of this writing, several new nuggets are being polished up and prepped for Fiber Art Calls for Entry. These precious gems will be posted within the next few days. We have also begun work on the re-vamp of Mixed Remnants. The goal is to have the modifications and new content ready prior to the start of the new year.
That's all for now. Have a wonderful weekend!! We'll be back soon.
Cheers,
Elise N.

Fabricated: An Exhibition of Wearable Art
Target Gallery
Torpedo Factory Art Center
Alexandria, VA
February 2, 2013 to March 3, 2013
Fabricated is an all-media exhibition featuring “wearable art," which refers to individually designed pieces of handmade clothing or jewelry created as fine or expressive art. While the making of any article of clothing or other wearable object typically involves aesthetic considerations, the term wearable art implies that the work is intended to be accepted as a serious and unique artistic creation or statement. It is open to all artists nationally and internationally.
A non-refundable $35 entry fee includes submission for 3 pieces of artwork - each work may include one image along with only one detail image per work. $10 for each additional entry over the initial three.
Limitations
Work should be less than 15 feet overall (height + width + length), with no one dimension measuring more than 7 feet. Final measurements must be inclusive of frame, if applicable. Weight may not exceed 150 pounds. All entries must have been conceived and created by the artist submitting the work and must have been created within the last 5 years. All work selected must be ready for exhibit: 2D work must be framed with secure hanging devices; 3D work must be suitably prepared with instructions for installation. The gallery reserves the right to reject work that differs from submitted images.

Call for Artists: Connector, Port of San Diego Public Art
Deadline: January 15, 2013 (ONLINE)
Call for Artists
Connector
The Port of San Diego Public Art Office
San Diego, California
June/July 2014 (First Site Installation)
Connector is a new Port of San Diego (Port) public art project designed to encourage artistic investigation of Port tidelands in the development of a temporary large-scale artwork that will travel to locations on tidelands in San Diego, National City, Coronado, Chula Vista and Imperial Beach. The selected artist or artist team will create a dynamic, transportable artwork that transforms five unassuming spaces on tidelands in an imaginative and unexpected way.
ELIGIBILITY
This Call for Artists is open to professional, practicing artists in the United States and artists who currently hold proper visas allowing them to work in the United States. Proof of visa/work permit documentation may be requested for verification.
PROJECT GOALS
The goals of the Connector project are to encourage artistic investigation of the tidelands in the development of a large-scale, site-specific public artwork that:
• Is artistically compelling both aesthetically and conceptually;
• Exemplifies a dynamic approach to public space and human engagement;
• Transforms, adds to, or is fundamentally ensconced in unassuming spaces in the District’s five member cities in imaginative and unexpected ways;
• Is transportable and durable to withstand travel to multiple locations on the tidelands; and
• Creates connections and a series of evolving experiences along the tidelands, in support of the “public” public art creative direction.
ARTWORK OPPORTUNITY (truncated)
The artist selected for the commission will collaborate with the Port on the conceptualization and realization of the artwork.
The artwork should be artistically compelling both aesthetically and conceptually with high visual impact. Through a dynamic approach to public space and human engagement, the artist will transform multiple tidelands environmental settings into new visual experiences that engage a broad audience in their daily lives. The artwork will translate into a series of evolving experiences that re-imagine the urban and related tidelands environs. Artists whose visual art practices include spatial inventions and/or installations are strongly encouraged to apply.
A specific site in each of the Port’s five member cities will be determined during the artwork development phase through a collaborative investigation of the tidelands by the artist and the Public Art Office. Examples of potential areas may include shoreline parks, buildings, infrastructure, and promenades.
The artwork will be on public view approximately fifteen months (three months in each member city). Artists will be expected to retrieve all components at the end of the project and may keep any materials purchased and/or fabricated as part of the commission budget and incorporated into the temporary artwork.
BUDGET
The selected artist will receive a $275,000 budget to conceive and realize their artwork, including concept and design development, fabrication as well as installation and de-installation at multiple sites. The budget is all inclusive and must cover all costs.

Manifest Artist Residency Award
Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center
Cincinnati, OH
2013/2014 Residency
Artists are invited to submit complete applications to Manifest's Manifest Artist Residency program (MAR). Applications will be reviewed on a competitive basis.
The program is open for application by any serious emerging or established artist, including recent graduates from college art programs. It will benefit Manifest's community by providing exposure to the often unseen working space and practices of artists, serving to eliminate some boundaries to contemporary art making which currently may divide the everyday public from the fine visual arts.
The ideal candidate for the award of the program may be working in any media or genre, but would also make reasonable use of the available life-drawing sessions even if this is ancillary activity to their primary work. Suitability for teaching will be considered, but will not be a primary factor in the selection process.
One artist will be selected as the recipient of the MAR award which consists of the following:
The resident artist will be selected by a committee comprised of internal staff, board members, and academic/professional advisors.
Media/Genre: Open to artists working in any traditional and non-traditional genre and media.
Submission Fee: Each application must be accompanied by a $30 non-refundable submission fee.

- Free 24/7 use of a private studio consisting of approximately five hundred square feet of studio and display space (two north-lit rooms and a hallway) for a period of one year (including nominal utilities).
- Free Drawing League Membership at Manifest Drawing Center which provides access to approximately 250 hours of life drawing sessions through weekly Open Figure and quarterly Drawing Marathon offerings.
- The artist will be given the consideration for teaching courses in our studio program, for pay, during the course of the residency. This will be contingent upon suitability and qualifications, as well as course enrollment, and will be determined by the Director of the Drawing Center.
- Regular public exposure of artwork and studio during Manifest exhibit receptions to over 1500 members of the public.
- The opportunity to submit to any and all of Manifest’s calls for entry for which the artist is eligible, including solo show proposals, with the entry fees waived for all submissions. Works submitted by the Resident Artist will still be juried through the blind jury process used for all Manifest projects.
The resident artist will be selected by a committee comprised of internal staff, board members, and academic/professional advisors.
Media/Genre: Open to artists working in any traditional and non-traditional genre and media.
Submission Fee: Each application must be accompanied by a $30 non-refundable submission fee.

SEASON 10 - 2013/2014
EXHIBIT PROPOSALS
Solo, Two-person, Group and Concept Submissions
Manifest is eager to receive proposals of various types. And accepts these on an ongoing basis, reviewing them starting in early June in consideration for the upcoming season.
Eligibility: Anyone can submit a proposal. Artists should bear in mind the need for a consistent and very strong body of work when submitting.
Media/Genre: Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. Manifest sets out to survey, locate, exhibit, and document excellent quality amongst all types of art. Our record of showing a broad mix speaks for itself. If it's good, we want to see it, and if possible show it.
Jury and Curator: Manifest's main selection process involves a complex two-part system. Most exhibits are juried by an anonymous 9-12 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise. The jury then passes along their recommendations to the exhibit curator who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool. Solo proposals are handled in a similar but smaller scale way. While artists may provide a specific goal for an exhibit, the final selection and layout of works will be determined by a Manifest curator in consultation with the artist.
Types of proposals:
- Solo exhibits
- Two person exhibits
- Group shows
- Curatorial project (call for entries proposal by curator)
Submission Fee: Each proposal must be accompanied by a $30 non-refundable submission fee. Number of works is not limited.

Fabric Design Contest
Deadline: November 20, 2012 (ONLINE)
Fabric Design Contest
The Nasher Museum
Spoonflower
Durham, NC
December 6, 2012
The Cone sisters (Claribel and Etta) were the beneficiaries of the Cone textile empire in North Carolina, and loved surrounding themselves with lush fabrics and textures. Their couches overflowed with pillows covered in multicolored fabrics; they collected fabrics and laces from around the world. Many of their beloved Matisse paintings also featured bright colors and bold patterns.
The Nasher Museum has partnered with Spoonflower, a Durham-based company, to hold a contest with the goal of designing a textile that would look at home in a Matisse painting (view examples in new window). Please do NOT recreate a textile in the images, but instead, create a new design with the color palette below. The top ten designs will be featured at a First Thursday and Art for All events at the Nasher Museum on Thursday, December 6, 2012.
For more information about the contest, and how to design, print and sell original fabric designs, visit Spoonflower.
