Brenda May Gallery: Small

Deadline: April 26, 2013 (RECEIVE)


Small
Brenda May Gallery

Waterloo NSW Australia
July 2013


Brenda May Gallery is currently accepting proposals from professional practising artists in Australia and New Zealand for the following group exhibition scheduled for 2013.

‘Small’ - July 2013
Being small is often defined in the negative sense - not big, not usual, not imporant. For this show we have asked artists who are familiar with working on a small-scale to contribute works that defy this notion. In addition to those who are more comfortable working on a larger scale have been challenged to produce something which fits this category but is not in any way a diminutive correlate of their larger works.

Please post submissions directly to the gallery (email submissions and proposals sent via registered post will not be accepted).

Submissions must include a CD of recent work, an up to date CV and a one page written proposal outlining which exhibition you are submitting for and the nature of the
work you are proposing. Please no powerpoint or keynote files.

I’m hard at work on an exciting new book project that combines my two loves–libraries and craft. And I’d like to invite library-loving crafters and makers to be part of it!
Tentatively entitled Handmade at the Library, the book will be published by STC Craft | Melanie Falick Books. It is a crafter’s library companion, and in it I will share tips on how you can make the most of libraries’ unique and historic collections–both in person and online–in your search for information and inspiration in your own handmade creations.

In addition, crafters and designers will provide original ideas and instructions for making beautiful, modern projects based on inspiring, vintage library collections. Each project will highlight the rich potential that awaits within research libraries’ unique collections. And that’s where where you come in. I’m looking for talented working crafters interested in creating project tutorials for Handmade at the Library
