Eye on the D: Seeing Detroit with New Eyes
Two Deadlines: (ONLINE)

September 6, 2013 (Late)
Eye on the D: Seeing Detroit with New Eyes
Women's Caucus for Art Michigan
555 Gallery
Detroit, MI
November 1-21, 2013
Eye on the D: Seeing Detroit with New Eyes focuses on the rich multi-textured character of the city of Detroit in the midst of radical change. Whether it’s the current physical landscape, evolving neighborhoods or political makeup, show us evidence of a re-imagined terrain. What is the next chapter in the story of this quintessential American city, or what whispers not to be forgotten? Detroit’s historic artistic achievements are monumental - the architecture of Albert Kahn and Eliel Saarinen, the auto industry’s design revolution, the public murals of Diego Rivera and the intensely personal work of Frida Kahlo, the music of Motown and Hip Hop.
Recent creative momentum has given voice to a new vision of the city in this post-Fordian post-modern era and gained national and international attention. How do you see the city of the future, the city in your imagination, what inspires you about Detroit? Last year the Michigan Chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art gave a Detroit Art Tour for attendees of the National WCA Summer Board Meeting. Response was so great that the Michigan Chapter organized this exhibition to instigate a national response to our city, and to hear from artists from around Michigan and especially from Detroit about how they see this time of crisis and regeneration.
Eligibility: All self-defined women artists may submit up to 3 works of any medium.

New Urban Gallery
St. Louis, MO
2015/2016 Season
Proposals being accepted for 2015/2016 solo/collaborative exhibitions in craft materials at new urban gallery, in Grand Center, St. Louis, Missouri.
Exhibition Project Description
The proposed exhibition space will enable Craft Alliance to present site-specific installation pieces that use craft techniques to create spatial environments and that bridge the line between craft and fine art as well as experimental or multi-media craft work. Craft Alliance will present the St. Louis community with exhibitions which challenge conventional notions of craft and which broaden the understanding of the vital role of craft mediums in contemporary art.
The installation should visual transform the 750 square foot space. We would like to challenge each submitting artist to look at the layout of the gallery and design work that engages the whole space as a site-specific installation while considering the viewer’s relationship to the work and how one approaches and encounters the piece.
The size of the gallery space is approximately 1000 square feet with 750 square feet dedicated to installation space, with floor to ceiling pillars every 14 feet. The gallery has 8’ storefront windows on the full eastern street side, 26 running feet of wall space on north side and 32 feet on west side. The ceiling height is approximately 12 feet. There is limited access to the ceiling. Please contact exhibitions@craftalliance.org for a more detailed floor plan.
The artist is allowed approximately 10 days to install the work. The proposal must include an outline of installation process, carefully estimated budget (including artist stipend, transportation, travel and de-installation), and process of de-installation. Artist must include drawings of how the work will fit in the space, taking in to consideration the columns and front windows. Craft Alliance encourages the artist to come and visit the space and get to know the surrounding St. Louis community.
Craft Alliance will offer 2 exhibitions per year. Applications are accepted on rolling bases through June 2014.

The Updates are Coming! The Updates are Coming!
Hello Friends:
First, it's great to see so many new subscribers & followers. Welcome!
Second, we are preparing for a rather large posting. We decided to break the whole process down into digestible parts so the updates will be spread over three days. The first batch will be posted tomorrow, the next on Thursday and the final batch on Friday. If we need to make changes to this schedule, we'll let you know in advance.
The purpose of this great push is to ensure the site is "full and plenty" so we can take a short break in September. No worries, my friends; we just need to do some behind the scenes work.
That's it for now. Of course if you have questions, comments or wish to submit an item for possible inclusion on the site, please feel to use the form on our contact page.
Cheers,
Elise N.

World War II Home Front Quilt Challenge
Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park
Voices in Cloth in Craneway Pavilion
Richmond, California
March 22 & 23, 2014
This quiltmaking challenge focuses on the years 1941 - 1945, a brief and influential period in American history that continues to impact life in the United States today. The WWII Home Front theme was chosen to celebrate one of our newest National Parks, the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park, located in Richmond, California. Quilts inspired by any aspect of civilian wartime life across the USA are welcomed.
Eligible Subject Matter:
Eligible subject matter is limited to recognizable aspects of civilian wartime life in the United States during the period between the attack on Pearl Harbor and the end of World War II in Europe and the Pacific. Any topic, including events, activities, and responses to conditions experienced by children, women and men in their personal lives, as civilian workers, and as volunteers, may be depicted or interpreted.
If your quilt includes quotations, photos/photographic images, or artwork/drawings, they must be your original work, or copyright-free and in the public domain.
Eligible Participants:
Participation is open to anyone living in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii. Each entrant may enter one quilt, which must be solely the product of his or her making. No group or collaborative quilts will be accepted.
Quilt Requirements:
For this challenge, traditional, contemporary, and innovative quilt construction techniques are encouraged. Originality and personal expression in concept, design, and execution are desirable.
Quilts are traditionally defined as having three layers stitched together. Non-traditional approaches sometimes utilize two layers stitched together. For this challenge, both approaches qualify, as long as the layers are held together by machine or hand stitching, knotting, or tying. Natural and synthetic fiber and textile materials must be used to create the layers. All types of surface design techniques and embellishment may be used. However, quilts requiring special support frames, dowels, mounted on stretcher bars, utilizing picture frames, or which contain unwieldy, fragile, or breakable elements or embellishments will not be accepted.
Size/Shape Limitations:
Eligible entries will total 80 inches measured around the perimeter, and must be either square or rectangular. This means quilts may be 20 x 20 inches (square), or rectangular in portrait or landscape orientation.

Call for Contributors
Knitty Magazine
Issues: December 2013, March 2014 & June 2014
Knitty Submission Guidelines (truncated)
We'd love more than anything to be surprised by something you've created that we've never even thought of. Don't forget: we're the online knitting magazine with a sense of humor, and we love patterns that create joy, whether they're weird, strange, fun or all three.
We don't do novelty yarn, and we rarely publish children's garments or accessories, unless they're exceptionally clever or unique. For the best chance of being published, submit your designs for men's or women's sweaters.
Remember, as you design for Knitty, ask yourself this: what makes your design unique? Tell us about it when you write your e-mail to us. Bullet points are fine. Be clear and succinct.
Submissions must be new -- not previously shown in any form [even just a picture] in another mag or on any website, including Flickr or Ravelry. Once your work is published in Knitty, you may include a picture on your website with a link to the Knitty website. After the issue has been archived [3 months later], you may do whatever you wish with your work, including self publishing or submitting it to other publications. The copyright for your work always remains with you.
We cannot accept submissions of crocheted items. Knitted items with a small amount of crochet, such as edging or necklines, are most welcome.
The honorarium ranges from $75-100 per published submission. Payment will be by Paypal and contributors can expect payment by the time the issue's surprise goes live -- midway between your issue and the next.
In addition to the honorarium, we offer you a highly visible, professional place to show your work to a large, well-connected audience, plus a link back to the website of your choice.
Once the submission deadline has passed and all potential designs are in hand, we begin the selection process. We endeavor to let every designer know if they will be included in the next issue as soon as possible.
Upcoming Schedule:
Issue: Winter 2013
Theme: Cold-weather garments + accessories, quick last-minute gift knits
Deadline: September 1, 2013
Issue Live: December 2013

Issue: First Fall + Holiday Headstart 2014

Phynance Residency Open Call
Deadline: September 8, 2013 (EMAIL)
Phynance Residency Open Call
Flat Time House
In partnership with the Barry Flanagan Foundation
London, England
November 2013 to March 2014
In partnership with the Barry Flanagan Foundation, Flat Time House is accepting applications for an artist's residency to begin in November 2013.
FTHo, the former home and studio of artist John Latham, which he designated a 'living sculpture', will operate as a base for interrogating sculpture as a subject of research, rather than a static artform or medium. The residency will involve time spent in the John Latham and Barry Flanagan Archives.
The play of shifting dimensions and the play of paradox inherent in the work of Barry Flanagan was reflected in his interest in 'pataphysics, a science that rests 'on the truth of contradictions and exceptions', a systematic approach to undermining all systems that is also reflected in the work of his former teacher John Latham. PHYNANCE, named from a pataphysical reference in a drawing by Flanagan aims to continue and facilitate such approaches to sculptural production.
The selected artist will be provided with accommodation, studio, stipend and a production budget towards new work. The artist will be selected from an open call, with the 4 month residency resulting in a public exhibition and publication in 2014. We are seeking applications from artists who have been working professionally for 5 years. We welcome international applications.
The residency selection panel consists of Mike Nelson (Artist) Jo Melvin (Barry Flanagan Foundation), Claire Louise Staunton (Curator, FTHo) and Jon Wood (Research Curator, Henry Moore Institute).
The residency includes a 2000 pound budget towards the production of new work, a 2000 pound stipend and up to 350 pounds towards travel expenses. Flat Time House will offer a self contained artist's residence with en-suite bathroom. Adjoining kitchen facilities are shared with FTHo's staff.
The deadline for applications is September 8 2013. The residency is to begin late November 2013 and run until late March 2014.
Artists will be judged primarily on the quality of their work, but also on the potential of their practice to translate into a new body of work that re-examines the role of sculpture.
Please email info@flattimeho.org.uk with a single pdf file no larger than 3mb containing:
- Statement outlining the proposed direction of research and development of new work during the residency (max 500 words)
- General statement on your practice (max 500 words)
- CV
- 12 images max of recent work and/or links to audio visual work hosted online
OR send us a data CD containing a single pdf (with the above information) and sound/video files to arrive no later than September 8 2013. Please post to Flat Time House, 210 Bellenden Road, London SE15 4BW

About:
Flat Time House (FTHo) was the studio home of John Latham (1921-2006), recognised as one of the most significant and influential British post-war artists. In 2003, Latham declared the house a living sculpture naming it FTHo after his theory of time, "Flat Time". Until his death, John Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking about art. It is in this spirit that Flat Time House opened in 2008 as an archive, artist's residency space and gallery with a programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist's practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance.

About:
Flat Time House (FTHo) was the studio home of John Latham (1921-2006), recognised as one of the most significant and influential British post-war artists. In 2003, Latham declared the house a living sculpture naming it FTHo after his theory of time, "Flat Time". Until his death, John Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking about art. It is in this spirit that Flat Time House opened in 2008 as an archive, artist's residency space and gallery with a programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist's practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance.
