2012 Miniature Book
Competition and Exhibition
Miniature Book Society
Ann Arbor MI
What is a Miniature Book?
In the United States, a miniature book is usually considered to be one which is no more than three inches in height, width, or thickness. Some aficionados collect slightly larger books while others specialize in even smaller sizes. Outside of the United States, books up to four inches are often considered miniature.
RULES FOR ENTRIES:
To qualify for a Distinguished Book Award:
1. The book and its slipcase or portfolio box must measure no more than three inches in any direction.
2. There is a maximum of two entries per press and/or person.
3. The book must have been published and bound in a multiple edition of like copies.
4. The book must have been published within the past two years, 2009-2011.
5. The book must be submitted between January 1, 2012 and May 1, 2012.
One-off or Artist's Books
We will accept one-off (one-of-a-kind) or artist's books. They will not qualify for a Distinguished Book Award but will be included in the MBS Competition Exhibition Catalog in a separate section. Here is an opportunity for those who do not make multiple copies to show their work.
Entry Fee: MBS Member $30; Non-MBS Member $50
The Jury
The Jury consists of professionals who represent varied interests in the book arts. They are charged to select those three entries that best reflect the creativity, appropriateness of design to content, personal appeal and technical excellence of miniature book publishers, designers, printers and binders.
Winner of the MBS Distinguished Book Award
Three MBS Distinguished Book Awards are given by the judges each year. These winners are announced at the annual MBS Conclave. Winning entries become the property of the MBS. These travel for one year with the International MBS Traveling Exhibit. They are then placed in the MBS Archives at the Lilly Library of Indiana University.
MBS Traveling Exhibit
The MBS Traveling Exhibit will feature the winning books as well as selected entries. This exhibit will be touring internationally to libraries, museums, and other public forums that feature the book arts.

Small Tapestry International 3: Outside the Line
Deadline: October 31, 2012 (RECEIVE) OR (ONLINE)
Small Tapestry International 3: Outside the Line
The American Tapestry Alliance
The American Tapestry Alliance is pleased to announce Small Tapestry International 3: Outside the Line, a juried, international exhibition of small-scale tapestries. Artists are encouraged to explore the conceptual, technical and metaphorical implications of the theme, Outside the Line, as they develop work to submit.
Innovation and experimentation within the technique of handwoven tapestry are welcomed Outside the Line asks you to first consider the concept of line. Is it a geometric concept of “breadthless length” or a mark made in art? Is it an indication of boundaries, border or limits, or is it a course of action or policy? Is line a series of generations descended from a common ancestor or the words an actor says in a play? How do you express being outside the line?
Eligibility
Entry to STI3: Outside the Line is open to all tapestry artists who design and weave their own tapestries (defined as “hand-woven, weft-faced fabric with discontinuous wefts”), either individually or collaboratively (all assistants shall be named). Multimedia work will be considered as long as the primary medium is tapestry. Entries must be one-of-a-kind and have been completed after January 2011. Entries may not have been shown previously in any ATA exhibition, including the Unjuried Small Format show. Artists may submit up to three pieces, but a maximum of one piece per artist will be accepted.
Juror
Hesse McGraw, Chief Curator of Exhibitions and Projects at the Bemis Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
Tetitelbaum Awards
Through the generosity of the Teitelbaum Legacy Gift, STI 3 entries are eligible for the Teitelbaum Family Awards. First Place-$300.00 and Second Place-$200.00. The recipients of the awards will be determined by the juror.
Submission Information
The juror will select tapestries from digital images. Image quality may influence the juror's decision. Only completed tapestries will be juried.
Notification of Juror's Decision: January 31, 2013
Entry Fees

(Text)iles: Fibrous Languages in Art concentrates on the diverse network of languages found in fiber art. It approaches the materials and overall medium of fiber art as its own language, with regional dialects and discipline specific vernacular.
What do fibers and textiles say for us and about us? How do they express feelings through color, texture, and materials?
Qualified Artwork:
In exploring the languages and conversations fiber art can represent or evoke, artists should feel free to play with word or text to show how fiber, cloth, or material express their artistic voice. The exhibition asks artists to use the medium of fiber art to communicate anything they want.
Additionally, artists are encouraged to experiment with how poetics and personal exploration are conveyed through fiber arts. The use of traditional and non-traditional materials and techniques that write and share their regional, global, and cultural voice are welcomed.
Curator:
Flavia S. Zúñiga-West, is a Los Angeles based independent curator and artist consultant.
Awards: $1500
Five awards, three cash awards.
Call and Prospectus: www.infinityartgallery.com/upcoming/textiles

Flatiron Prow Artspace
Deadline: (ONGOING/UNSPECIFIED)
Call for Artist Proposals
Flatiron Prow Artspace
Flatiron Building
New York City, NY
Project Background
Sprint currently leases retail space in the iconic Flatiron Building in New York City, NY, located at 175 5th Avenue. Included in the retail space is what is euphemistically called “the cow catcher” (referred to from this point on as “the prow” of the building). It is an enclosed, triangularly shaped space, composed of 6 foot tall panes of glass on two sides, terminating to the north in curved point. The space is bordered by 5th Avenue on its west side and a new pedestrian park on its east side. The Flatiron building anchors the south end of Madison Square.
Sprint Corporation is requesting artist/design students to submit proposals for a unique temporary art project for this space. Sprint seeks to select a qualified artist (or artist team) with a body of work and conceptual approach that demonstrates artistic excellence and appropriateness for the location and vision, taking into account the volume of visitors to this space and the iconic nature of the building, along with the Sprint brand.
The goal is to utilize this space to engage the community and provide a different experience above and beyond typical New York City retail windows/displays, expanding the manner in which retail and art is perceived. The tie-in to Sprint’s brand and products would be complimentary to the project.
Overall Background
The selected display will be temporary in nature and will remain in the space for a period of 10-12 weeks. The art/display selected should engage passers-by, both New Yorkers and tourists alike.
Artist should consider the iconic nature of the building, the goal to engage and the Sprint Brand when considering concept.
There is no limitation with regard to medium; however special consideration should be taken in the use of materials, based on environment within the space. Due to the inordinate amount of glass in the prow, interior temperatures can fluctuate greatly, especially during hotter months. Heat and sunlight may have adverse effects on some materials if not realized prior to installation.
Note: there is heating/cooling equipment in the space
The prow space dimensions are included the appendix (see Prow Elevation)
Sprint will provide artists with a stipend of $1000 towards materials and installation costs.
Sprint will also provide a prepped “white” space ready for installation of the selected entry/display.
Access to the space is located within a larger Retail space that is currently a high traffic telecommunications retail store. Only authorized key holders have access to the space; meaning the space is secure and cannot be accessed without permission/authorization.
Response Requirements
The response must include the following:
1. Letter of interest
2. Identification and bio of personnel involved in project
3. Illustration/photographs/prototype of proposed display
4. Timeline for installation based on receipt of approval to proceed
5. Timeline for removal
6. References
SUBMISSION PROPOSALS CAN BE SENT TO: Flatironprowartspace@sprint.com
Criteria for Selection
Sprint will be reviewing all submissions via a jury of selected individuals. Submissions will be considered based on the following:
Quality of work
Design
Appropriateness for location
Inclusion of Sprint Branding
Maintenance
Selected artists will be notified upon selection. No additional communication will be forthcoming.

Deadline: April 10, 2012 (EMAIL) or (RECEIVE)
Feltrosa 2012
Biella the Wool Company
Miagliano (BI), Italy
May 19 to October 13, 2012
“The felt of the shaman - on the footsteps of Joseph Beuys”
Felt artists and craftsm are invited to submit costumes, clothing accessories, wearable items for the event “The felt of the shaman - on the footsteps of Joseph Beuys” scheduled for Feltrosa 2012. The main material must be handmade wool felt, with the option of using all kind of techniques and to combine them with other materials and weaving techniques. Group projects are particularly appreciated.
The works will be exhibited at “Biella the Wool Company” in Miagliano (BI) until October 13, 2012. The exhibition will be opened on Saturday, May 19th at 5:30pm. A selected number of works will be worn for a performing act organized by the School of Contemporary Dance “Collettivo Duende” of Bologna, under the artistic direction of Annadora Scalone.
Joseph Beuys, German leading figure of the conceptual art scene between the 60s and the 80s, has left valuable evidence of his work in Italy: this is the case of the six boards held at the Palazzo della Penna in Perugia, which communicate with drawings and inscriptions the main topics of his poetic. For Beuys, the artist is like a shaman: his task is mediate between society and its evolutionary need of spiritual and material renewal, rather than produce aesthetic objects for the museum.
Juried exhibition of sculpture - dresses, clothing accessories, wearable items, scheduled for Feltrosa 2012.
- Application is limited to E.U. residents
- There is no limit to the number of works submitted by each participant. Participation is free.
- The jury will consider applications examining two good quality photos, in jpg format. These photos can be used by organizers to promote the event.
- The work will be selected by an independent panel of jurors.
Photos must be sent by email by April 10, 2012 at the following address: evabasile@feltrosa.com or
