Guild Scholarship 2013
Embroiderers' Guild
Walton on Thames, Surrey
Two Embroiderers’ Guild Scholarships of £1000 each are awarded annually to students to develop the practice of embroidery. One Scholarship is for students in the age category of 18 to 30 years inclusive, and one Scholarship is for students over 30 years of age.
All applicants should have studied the practice of embroidery or stitched textiles through formal or informal learning. The Scholarships are to support students to undertake projects which further their own practice. Working with the Embroiderers’ Guild during the Scholarship year provides each Scholar with opportunities to be introduced to the Guild’s network of Members, Branches and practising professionals.
The aim of the Scholarships is to support embroiderers to implement project proposals which further their own embroidery practice. Criteria for selection are consistent within both age categories.
Criteria for selection
• The Scholarships are for embroiderers who have studied the practice of embroidery or stitched textiles through formal or informal learning.
• Selection will be based equally on an applicants ability as an embroiderer (6 images on a CD) and the quality of the Scholarship project proposal.
• The specific Scholarship use must be given
• Selection will be based on how the applicant intends to use the Scholarship, and it must therefore be shown how the project proposal will further the applicant's own embroidery practice.
• The project proposal must be in line with the aim of the Scholarship. Ineligible proposals will make the application void.
• The application must include a timetable, action plan and a breakdown of costs for the Scholarship project proposal.

Eastern State Penitentiary Art Proposals - 2014 Season
Deadline: June 13, 2013, 4:00 pm (RECEIVE) or (HAND DELIVERY)
Art Proposals
Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site
Philadelphia, PA
2014 Season
We seek installations that will explore Eastern State Penitentiary's history, and evoke a broad range of emotions. We seek installations that will make connections between the complex history of this building and its legacy in current prison policies and conditions.
We want to humanize these difficult subjects with personal stories and distinct points of view. We want to hear new voices—voices that might emphasize the political or humorous or bluntly personal. We want our visitors to be challenged with provocative questions, and we are prepared to face some provocative questions ourselves.
In short, we seek memorable, thought-provoking additions to our public programming, combined with true excellence in artistic practice.
If our definition of this program seems broad, it's because we're open to approaches that we haven't yet heard.
Orientation: We strongly recommend that applicants begin the proposal process by attending an artist orientation. These informal tours/conversations give the artists a chance to explore the space, discuss what makes a successful proposal, ask questions, and observe visitors interacting with the current installations. There is no charge for attending an orientation.
Orientation Dates and Times for 2014 Season

Sunday, June 9 at 2 pm
Choosing a Location in the Penitentiary Complex:
Artists may apply for any public area in the penitentiary complex for the 2014 season, except Cellblock 2 and the main audio tour route.
We recommend making space requests as broad as possible ("any cell with electricity"), since it gives us confidence that we can find a site for the work. We also encourage artists to propose for specific
locations if those locations are important to the piece, such as Nick Cassway's request for his
installation—Portraits of Inmates in the Death Row Population Sentenced as Juveniles—to face Death Row.
Spaces on the outside of the penitentiary walls may also be available, including in the Corinthian and Brown Street garden areas. These proposals will require another set of approvals from neighborhood
groups.
Our staff is available to consult on proposed locations.
Funding: The historic site will fund a maximum $7,500.00 per project. This funding indicates approval to exhibit. All projects that are approved will be installed for one full tour season (typically March 15 through November 30), unless the proposal states otherwise. Artists may apply for future installation cycles, and should assume that the same guidelines, deadlines, and funding levels will apply.
Eligibility:
• Collaborative proposals are permitted; individuals may submit only one proposal per year (whether alone or as part of a collaboration).
• Artists who have previously exhibited at the site must wait five years before submitting a proposal for a new installation.
• Applicants may not submit previously rejected proposals.
• Artists must be at least 18 years old. Currently enrolled undergraduate students are ineligible to apply.
• All proposals must be for a site-specific installation.
• These guidelines are for artists who wish to install visual, video or other installation work to remain on view during all public hours at the historic site. The site does host performing arts, films, and
speakers' series. Please contact Sean Kelley at sk@easternstate.org for proposals in the
performing or live arts.

“Always Something…” Surface Design Association, Illinois Exhibit 2013
Deadline: July 29, 2013 Midnight CST (EMAIL)
“Always Something…”
Surface Design Association, Illinois Exhibit 2013
The Vogt Visual Arts Center
Tinley Park, IL
September 3 - 26, 2013
All current United States Midwest Surface Design Association (SDA) Members are invited to enter into the Surface Design Association, Illinois Exhibit 2013 “Always Something…”, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
To become a member of SDA and participate in this exhibit, go to the SDA website: http://www.surfacedesign.org
Exhibit Concept: The intention of this exhibit is to illustrate reactions when things don’t go our way. A journey stalled by a red light, construction that blocks our path; a bridge goes up and halts our progress. One thing leads to another… Perhaps these moments allow for us to notice something unexpected, a mother and child holding hands, a sunlit tree reveals magic, we hear the sweet music of a songbird. Life is motion, each unexpected change allows for an opportunity to see our world anew and alter our perspective.
Managing Curators: Darcy Berg, Patty Bergh, Marianne Biagi, Joy Lavrencik, Jeanette Thompson

We've posted 20 new opportunities but several are awaiting the light of day so expect another update this week.
Peace, Joy and Blessings to all,

Celebrating African Grandmothers
Deadline: March 1, 2013 (RECEIVE) or (HAND DELIVERY)
Celebrating African Grandmothers
Royal City Gogos
New Westminster, BC
May 2013 – Feb. 28 2014
Celebrating African Grandmothers, heroes of the continent, is a juried exhibition. Artists are invited to celebrate African grandmothers in sculpture, print-making, painting, photo manipulation, collage, fibre and textile art -- any art form that can be hung on the wall. Interpretations of the themes will range from traditional to abstract and conceptual and may appeal to a a variety of audiences from art collectors to children.
Royal City Gogos are part of a nation-wide movement of +5,000 grandmothers and grand-others who contribute to the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. We fund raise in support of African grandmothers caring for a generation of children who have been orphaned by the AIDS pandemic. These children are the future hope of Africa. To date, the Grandmothers Campaign has raised +$16.5 million.
Exhibition History: ‘Celebrating’ is the third in a series of art exhibitions to be hosted by grandmother groups in western Canada. The first two exhibits were limited to textile art and raised +$200,000 for the Grandmothers Campaign. They toured from Comox to Winnipeg and thousands of visitors attended.
Benefits to artists:
Because we are limited to exhibiting approximately 50 works, other donated work that is not accepted by the jury will be gratefully received and sold during the exhibition tour.
We anticipate a vibrant and inspired exhibition that celebrates the extraordinary resolve of African grandmothers and the talent and generosity within the arts community.

Talking Heads: A Contemporary Take on Headdresses
Deadline: May 5, 2013 (RECEIVE)*
A deadline date discrepancy appears in the Call for Submissions form. Please be certain to confirm dates with SDA, British Columbia as noted below.
Talking Heads: A Contemporary Take on Headdresses
North Vancouver Community Arts Council &
Surface Design Association, British Columbiaa
Cityscape Community Art Space
North Vancouver, British Columbia
July 26 to Sept 7, 2013
This juried exhibition will showcase works inspired by historical and/or cultural headdresses. Headdresses, whether practical or ceremonial, have traditionally made a statement about the wearer and their cultural community. Our contemporary take on these historical artifacts will similarly make a statement about ourselves and our own cultural environments, while exploring an exciting diversity of techniques and media, as well as innovative approaches to the theme.
Works must be inspired by a traditional headdress, but they need not be wearable. They must, however, go beyond the usual idea of a hat.
Works may be in any media, but must include fibre or fibre techniques. There are no size restrictions. Works may be two dimensional or three dimensional.
This juried exhibition is open to all members of the Surface Design Association.
Adjudication Fees: $10CDN for NVCAC members, $15CDN for non-members, for up to 3 entries.
