Jerome Fiber Artist Project Grants
Deadline: October 18, 2013 (RECEIVE)
Jerome Fiber Artist Project Grants
Textile Center
Minneapolis, MN
2013-14
In 2013-14, the sixth round of Jerome Fiber Artist Project Grants will be awarded through the Textile Center. This program is designed to expand opportunities for emerging fiber artists in Minnesota, supporting the artists as they undertake specific artistic projects. Four $4500 grants will be awarded to support a wide range of project activities – from purchasing equipment, devoting time to studio work, to travel and study with established artists.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a Project Grant, you must
• be an artist committed to the field of fiber art
• have completed all formal academic training by the start of the grant period (December 2013), and are not enrolled either part- or full-time in a degree granting institution
• not be employed as a fiber art or art instructor at the college level during the grant period
• be a resident of Minnesota for at least 6 months prior to the application deadline
• be in an emerging or developing stage in your artistic development
Artists who have previously received a Jerome Project Grant cannot apply again until three years after the date of their award.
Defining Fiber Art
Work should include the construction or manipulation of fibers and textiles using textile techniques such as weaving, dyeing, surface design, knitting, quilting, needle work, beading, lace making, felting, hooking, sewing, spinning, basketry etc. Mixed media work is acceptable if the materials or techniques used are primarily textile related.
Defining Emerging
Textile Center identifies emerging fiber artists as artists who are in a formative career stage. While the definition of emerging remains flexible to accommodate individual circumstances, Textile Center uses several broad indicators to determine eligibility in the Fiber Artists Project Grant Program. These indicators include:
• Artist is committed to the field of fiber art.
• Artist is in a developing stage. The term emerging refers to artistic development, professional accomplishment and ecognition, not to stylistic evolution within an artist's
work.
• Artist has limited exhibition exposure/experience (include exhibitions, reviews, commissions, performances,residencies, publications and productions.)
• Artist is the recipient of limited previous grants and awards.
• Artist is under recognized and has not received acknowledgment as an established creator from fellow artists and other arts professionals.

SDA Canada Call for Expressions of Interest
Deadline: November 1, 2013 (EMAIL)
Call for Expressions of Interest
Edge of the Forest: Exploring Perimeters
Surface Design Association
British Columbia, Canada
Several Canadian SDA members who attended the 2013 SDA Conference in San Antonio have been exploring opportunities to mount this exhibition in a number of venues – at the SDA conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, June 2015, at the Newfoundland and Labrador Fibre Arts Conference in Gros Morne National Park,.October 2015, and elsewhere. When we have confirmed venues, a Call for Entry will be sent out by email in 2014, and posted on relevant websites and blogs.
At this time we need you to email your expressions of interest by November 1, 2013, with your name, address, phone number and email address to:
Melanie Siegel
thebeadofmyheart@rogers.com
THEME
Boundaries, borders and edges...
To what extent is a country defined by its perimeter...by the choices and placement of edges?
Whether political, historical, psychological and/or geographical, our comprehension and expression of these points of delineation represent integral pats of who we are, both as individuals and collectively.
Be it selvedge to selvedge, raw edge or treated, our textiles have unavoidable beginnings and endings. How these are handled can be as varied as the makers themselves.
We welcome your rich interpretation of this concept in presenting a diverse Canadian perspective on our boundaries.
GUIDELINES
All Canadian members of the Surface Design Association are invited to participate. Artists must be current members of the Surface Design Association as of January 2015, and resident in Canada.
All work is to be created as a two-dimensional 16x28 inch rectangle format, to be hung vertically.
The top of the work will be required to have a “sleeve” for hanging purposes. The sleeve should measure two inches, in which a flat metal rod will be inserted, and should stop ½-3/4” short of the side edges so that the rod will not show on the front. The top edge of the sleeve should be placed one to two inches from the top of the work.
Label sewn on the back indicating artist’s name, mailing address, materials, techniques.
All work must be finished to a professional standard and be ready for hanging as per the parameters stated above.
The work should best represent your current practice, be it experimental or signature style, and speak to the theme expressed above.
The gallery director or curator will have final say regarding which pieces will be exhibited. We expect there may be a requirement to send digital images, bios and artist statements to the galleries ahead of time.
Details about venues, with shipping instructions, etc, will be provided in 2014.

Call for Expressions of Interest
Edge of the Forest: Exploring Perimeters
Surface Design Association
British Columbia, Canada
Several Canadian SDA members who attended the 2013 SDA Conference in San Antonio have been exploring opportunities to mount this exhibition in a number of venues – at the SDA conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, June 2015, at the Newfoundland and Labrador Fibre Arts Conference in Gros Morne National Park,.October 2015, and elsewhere. When we have confirmed venues, a Call for Entry will be sent out by email in 2014, and posted on relevant websites and blogs.
At this time we need you to email your expressions of interest by November 1, 2013, with your name, address, phone number and email address to:
Melanie Siegel
thebeadofmyheart@rogers.com
THEME
Boundaries, borders and edges...
To what extent is a country defined by its perimeter...by the choices and placement of edges?
Whether political, historical, psychological and/or geographical, our comprehension and expression of these points of delineation represent integral pats of who we are, both as individuals and collectively.
Be it selvedge to selvedge, raw edge or treated, our textiles have unavoidable beginnings and endings. How these are handled can be as varied as the makers themselves.
We welcome your rich interpretation of this concept in presenting a diverse Canadian perspective on our boundaries.
GUIDELINES
All Canadian members of the Surface Design Association are invited to participate. Artists must be current members of the Surface Design Association as of January 2015, and resident in Canada.
All work is to be created as a two-dimensional 16x28 inch rectangle format, to be hung vertically.
The top of the work will be required to have a “sleeve” for hanging purposes. The sleeve should measure two inches, in which a flat metal rod will be inserted, and should stop ½-3/4” short of the side edges so that the rod will not show on the front. The top edge of the sleeve should be placed one to two inches from the top of the work.
Label sewn on the back indicating artist’s name, mailing address, materials, techniques.
All work must be finished to a professional standard and be ready for hanging as per the parameters stated above.
The work should best represent your current practice, be it experimental or signature style, and speak to the theme expressed above.
The gallery director or curator will have final say regarding which pieces will be exhibited. We expect there may be a requirement to send digital images, bios and artist statements to the galleries ahead of time.
Details about venues, with shipping instructions, etc, will be provided in 2014.
