Deadline: September 14, 2012 (ONLINE)
Quilt National ’13
The Dairy Barn Arts Center
Athens, OH
May 24 - September 2, 2013
Quilt National is a biennial international juried exhibition of contemporary innovative quilts. The first Quilt National was shown in 1979. The eighteenth in the series of international juried competitions dedicated to promoting the contemporary quilt by serving as a showcase for NEW work (completed after September 1, 2010). The jurors will select works that represent unique approaches to the medium and demonstrate the breadth and diversity of contemporary expressions.
RULES AND REQUIREMENTS (truncated)
AUTHORSHIP
Artist must be 18 years or older. All work must be the result of independent effort. Work cannot be created for or the product of an instructional setting in which another artist or teacher has provided guidance and/or suggestions. The work must be an original design, not a copy or a variation on the original design of another artist working in any medium.
MATERIALS
The work must possess the basic structural characteristics of a quilt. It must be predominately fabric or fabric-like material and MUST be composed of at least two full and distinct layers – a face layer and a backing layer. The face layer may be described by any or a combination of the following terms: pieced, appliquéd, whole cloth, stitched/fused to a foundation. The face and backing layers must be held together by hand- or machine made functional quilting stitches or other elements that pierce all layers and are distributed throughout the surface of the work. At least some of these stitches or elements should be visible on the back of the work. As an alternative, the work may be a modular construction (an assemblage of smaller quilts). Each individual module, however, must meet the above structural criteria.
ENTRY FEE
A non-refundable entry fee of $35.00 (thirtyfive US dollars) will accompany the entry submission. This fee includes the entry fee and the online submission of the full view and detail image of one quilt. Entrants may submit up to two (2) additional works for an additional fee of $5 (five dollars) per work.
JUDGING CRITERIA
Work will be judged on originality, design, technique, and craftsmanship. Jurors will select no more that one work by an artist. Preliminary acceptance will be granted on the basis of the digital image submission. Final acceptance will be granted after a jurors’ representative has examined the work itself. Approximately 85 works will be selected.

2013 Hidden City Philadelphia Festival
Deadline: July 1, 2012 (ONLINE)
Call For Proposals
2013 Hidden City Philadelphia Festival
Philadelphia, PA
May 23 – June 30, 2013
In 2013, Hidden City Philadelphia presents an international festival featuring site-specific visual and performance art in lesser-known but remarkable heritage sites throughout the city.
Hidden City Philadelphia invites project proposals for the 2013 Hidden City Philadelphia Festival, which is currently scheduled to run from May 23 – June 30, 2013.
Building upon the success of the 2009 Hidden City festival, which featured art installations and performances in obscured or inaccessible heritage sites, the next Hidden City Festival will encompass roughly twelve heritage sites that will be open to the public for six weeks. Every site is staffed by a site manager and volunteer docents with training in interpreting both the art installations and history of the site and its community. A central hub provides visitor support.
Who We’re Looking For
We accept proposals from artists, collectives, curators, organizers, producers, and leaders of organizations, businesses, and historic sites. Proposals don’t need to come from an artist or in an arts/design-related organization as long as they address our criteria. We are looking for a mix of local, national, and international participants.
What We’re Looking For (truncated)
We are looking for project proposals representing all disciplines, including the visual arts, performance, architecture, and design. We will be presenting one project per site. Collaborative projects or projects with multiple elements or components may count as one project, if based in and around one site. We’re interested in ideas that animate space and illuminate the memory and future of our remarkable sites and the people who care for them. To that end, we are looking for projects that meet the following core criteria:
Our Process
This Call for Proposals is a means to begin conversations about your ideas for these sites. Proposals are understood to represent ideas-in-development. Hidden City works with an Artistic Advisory Committee, Philadelphia Curatorial Steering Committee, site partners, and members of the community to evaluate proposals. This is not a juried show or competition. After the close of this initial call, we may continue to develop additional sites and proposals.
The Artistic Advisory Committee serves to connect Hidden City with artists and other collaborators worldwide. The Philadelphia Curatorial Steering Committee is made up of local leaders in the artistic, heritage, and urban studies fields. Both groups will help evaluate proposals and in some cases may offer technical or advisory assistance for projects.

- Projects must be wholly site-specific and engage with the history of the place, not just its formal demands. We will accept “re-visionist” approaches to pre-existing work or artistic ideas, if they can authentically engage with the site and its past, present, and future.
- Your idea has the potential to communicate to a broad spectrum of audiences. We welcome all aesthetic leanings, from conceptual to representational, but keep in mind that our audiences are tremendously diverse, with many new to the artistic experience.
- You have a creative background that evidences the capability to realize your project. We are interested foremost in the power of your ideas, recognizing that there are many kinds of artists and approaches to developing a creative practice.

9th Kaunas Biennial UNITEXT
Deadline: September 15, 2012 (EMAIL)
9th Kaunas Biennial UNITEXT
Kaunas Artists' Support Fund
Kaunas, Lithuania
2013 09 13 – 2013 12 31.
The 9th Kaunas Biennial UNITEXT will create conditions for immediate collisions of an artwork and a spectator, allowing the experience of art as a universal text. Curators of the exhibition together with artists will pursue a concept that is new and unfamiliar in a cultural context and will consolidate it by presenting practical examples. We will go into the question of a unitext, which is the latest link in work -> text -> intertext -> hypertext -> unitext semiotic chain of a philosophic / art criticism / artistic field.
According to the consistency of this chain the UNITEXT exhibition claims a privilege to present novel ideas about the art at the level of structural and notional revelation. The suggestion is to perceive unitext in this chain as a universal artistic language, which unifies different experiences and concepts. The exhibition will provide a unique voice for each artwork instead of handling this task to explanatory texts. We believe artworks themselves are suggestive, influential and complete enough. We invite artists to present works experiences of which are based on a direct confrontation with an object / space / semantic field.
We invite to you present unitexts, which are seen through intuition, materiality, spontaneity, sensuality, feeling, here and now experiences.
