Hallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts
Deadline: March 14, 2014 (ONLINE)
Hallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts
The Ford Family Foundation
Roseburg, Oregon
2014 Season
The Ford Family Foundation awards up to three unrestricted Hallie Ford Fellowships in the Visual Arts per calendar year, each in the amount of $25,000, to Oregon mid-career visual artists who have demonstrated a depth of sophisticated practice and potential for significant future accomplishment. These fellowships honor the late Hallie Ford, co-founder of The Ford Family Foundation based in Roseburg, Oregon who left a legacy of a life-long interest in and support of the visual arts. She believed strongly that others should have the opportunity to realize and fulfill their talents. The Hallie Ford Fellowships in the Visual Arts are one way in which the Foundation Board intends to sustain her contributions and founding role by actively supporting the people she grew to know and respect for their work during her lifetime.
Recipients are chosen based on the evolution of their work, the quality of their existing work, and the promise of future potential. They are chosen by a panel of arts professionals familiar with the work of Oregon visual artists, the national contemporary art discipline, and who are experienced in fellowship selection processes.
Eligibility
Application is open to any Oregon visual artist actively producing new work who meet the following criteria:
• be a practicing visual artist currently producing works of art in the fields of fine and contemporary art and craft;
• be a full-time resident of Oregon for at least 36 months prior to the application deadline, provide legal proof of residency if awarded a fellowship, and remain a resident through the duration of the grant period;
• be 30 years of age or older at the time of application;
• evidence, through appropriate documentation, seven (7) or more years of serious, active professional participation in his/her medium;
• not be enrolled in a degree-seeking program, either part-time or full-time at the time of application or during the successive grant period.
Visual Arts Medium: The Foundation recognizes that advancement is being made in a broad array of visual arts mediums and, therefore, does not want to be unnecessarily restrictive. The Foundation will accept applications from any visual arts medium with the exception of film, video and animation. However, it will emphasize the more classic disciplines in the early years of the Fellowships, in keeping with Mrs. Ford's interests and experiences.
The Foundation does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, disability or religion.
Selection Process:
A jury of five arts professionals, representing a wide range of expertise and experience in the practice and/or curation of art and craft and fellowship selection processes, will review all applications independently. They will then convene as a group to deliberate on a pool of semi-finalists to arrive at a collective recommendation to the Foundation of three finalists based on the quality, evolution and the effect the Fellowship will have on the candidates' work. The use of the award funding is unrestricted.

Deadline: April 11, 2014 (RECEIVE)
PieceWork Magazine Submissions
Interweave
Loveland, CO
November/December 2014 issue
PieceWork is a bimonthly magazine with high visual impact focusing on the historical aspects of needlework around the world. PieceWork readers are passionate about needlework; they value the role needlework has played, and plays, in the ongoing human story. Well-researched feature stories explore the traditional makers of needlework, including knitting, needlepoint, embroidery, cross-stitch, quilting, crocheting, beadwork, tatting, lacemaking, and surface design.
PieceWork readers want to know the origin of the various needlework techniques. Readers especially want to know how a technique was done. Therefore, each issue includes in-depth information on various techniques, including step-by-step how-to instructions to replicate the technique. High-quality finished projects that readers will want to make for themselves or to present as gifts to others are another component.
If you are not already familiar with the content, style, and tone of the magazine, we suggest you read a few issues. We expect that the submission you ask us to consider has not been published nor is it presently submitted elsewhere. If any part of your submission has been published previously, please let us know when and by whom.
November/December 2014—UNDERWEAR
Oh my—unmentionables come to the forefront! For centuries, people have constructed all manner of underwear using a variety of techniques. And often these seldom-seen items were elaborately embellished. Because of this embellishment, these are items families have treasured and passed along to future generations. Compelling,
often personal, stories go hand in hand with this specific element of dress; projects will bring the unmentionables out of the closet.

This exhibition is part of the AIR/HMC, Budapest, International Artists in Residency program.
Johann Gutenberg's invention of movable type books ignited the explosion of art. These days the printed books that were previously published by publishers now can be read on line as ebooks. What is the future? Instead of having to interact with computers through not-so-intuitive and sometimes even counter-intuitive devices like a computer mouse or trackpad, soon users will be able to control their computers doing natural human movements such as gestures, whole-body movement, eye movement, and perhaps even such things as facial expressions.
Is it the end for books as we know them?
Question the survival of paper, books, libraries in this digital age. The process of sending artworks through the mail, with the envelope, the stamp and the postmark as entire part of the mail-art-object make this process to what we call Mail Art. Since 1986 we call mail-artists also networkers because they are active in/with several "media": music, computer (internet, e-mail), fax, copy-art, performance, small-press, artists' books, etc.
Curator: Beata Szechy
Acceptable Artworks:
Artist books, works on or of paper may be any size, but MUST fit in a 9 X 12 (22.9X30.5cm) envelope.
Un-matted, unframed photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, cast or folded paper, multimedia or digital prints.
Submission Requirements:
1. Send the application form, artist resume/CV, artist statement, 1 - 3 still image work samples OR short video (YouTube) by email and application fee by PayPal ($35)
2. Original artworks & SASE arrival to HMC, Dallas by 04/15/14 or HMC, Budapest by 06/15/2014

Penland Resident Artist Program
Deadline: November 15, 2015 (ONLINE)
Penland Resident Artist Program
Penland School of Crafts
Penland, NC
2016 to 2019 Session
Penland's resident artists are full-time artists who spend three years living and working in Penland's school community. The program is designed for artists who are at some pivotal moment in their career—the residency is an opportunity for them to test ideas and make choices that will have a lasting effect on their work and their lives. Resident artists may use the time to develop their studio practice, to work out the practicalities of making a living, to push technical and conceptual boundaries, or to explore entirely new directions in their work.
The primary expectation of resident artists is that they engage intently with their work. They are also expected to have an open door policy, welcoming students, instructors, and the public to their studios, both informally and formally through the resident open house that is part of each Penland session. They are welcome to visit workshops, attend slide lectures, and to participate in all aspects of the life of the school.
Resident artists are selected through a competitive process that draws applications from all over the country. Selection is based on the quality of the work and on clearly articulated goals. At the end of their three years, some Penland resident artists move onto other residencies or decide to pursue teaching careers, but the great majority of them set up independent studios and continue to pursue the work they started at Penland.
Qualifications
The program welcomes self-motivated, focused individuals working in traditional and nontraditional studio crafts. The primary basis for selection is the strength and quality of the applicants' work. Residents must also have a clear objective for the time of their residency and be willing to live and work as part of a close-knit community.
Costs
The current base rental rate for Penland resident artists is $175 per month for unfurnished housing and studio space. With considerable seasonal variation, utilities costs per resident for studio and housing currently average $150-$200 per month.
Selection
Candidates are recommended to the school's director by a selection committee which includes one current and one past resident and one of Penland's craftsperson board members. The committee is looking for strong work by individuals who will enhance the program, especially those who are open to new ideas and are involved in some kind of transition in their artistic career.
All media taught at Penland are considered appropriate for the resident program. With the exception of the glass studio, resident studios are not media specific. However, the particular qualities of the available studios and the balance of media represented by the artists already in the program usually limits each year's openings to a certain range of media.
Openings
We do not anticipate any openings in the Penland School Resident Artist Program in 2015. Our next selection will be for residencies that begin September 15, 2016 and end August 15, 2019. The available studios include spaces appropriate for books, clay, drawing, glass, iron, letterpress, metals, painting, paper, photography, printmaking, textiles, or wood.
Applications are due November 15, 2015.

TASTE 2015 Curatorial Proposals
Deadline: November 1, 2014 (RECEIVE) or (EMAIL)
Call for Curatorial Proposals
TASTE 2015
Root Division
San Francisco, CA
Root Division is visual arts nonprofit that connects arts education, exhibitions, and subsidized studios in a unique arts ecosystem. Part of our mission is to offer opportunities for emerging and professional artists to develop, which includes exhibiting work and curating exhibitions. We embrace artists and curators with no experience in these areas as well as those with extensive resumes. As we consider submissions, we intend to include a broad range of artistic practices.
Presented in April each year, TASTE, is one of Root Division’s largest fundraising events and unique exhibitions. The event features inspired local food, drink, art, & music all onsite in Root Division’s gallery & studios.
Each year, a guest curator presents an exhibition relating to the theme of food and drink. This exhibition has its own opening reception on the 2nd Saturday of the month and regular gallery hours, as well as being a prominent feature of the fundraising event.
Our gallery space serves many needs, and as such is a unique environment in which to curate a show. We strongly encourage that you visit our space and our website, familiarize yourself with our past & current exhibition program, and understand the mission of the organization before submitting a proposal. This is especially true for the TASTE exhibition, as there will be chefs and mixologists creating creative food and beverage in the exhibition space on the evening of the fundraiser. (For this reason, large-scale floor installations are not advised.) In order to promote as many artists as possible, we currently only accept proposals for group exhibitions. However, because of the multi-use of the space, we try to limit the amount of artists involved in TASTE to 15.
Strong proposals will be clear & concise, will present innovative & engaging ideas, and will intend to draw a diverse group of participants & visitors. While we do not exclude artists & curators from outside the Bay Area, our primary focus is presenting local emerging artists and local emerging curators.
Review Process:
Our Curatorial Committee of established Bay Area arts professionals meets in March, July & November to review submissions. We have an Initial Review & a Follow-Up Review Process.
Submissions accepted via mail or email.
Submission Fee: $10 fee (must be on file by 11/1/2014 for the email submission to be considered)

San Francisco, CA
Root Division is visual arts nonprofit that connects arts education, exhibitions, and subsidized studios in a unique arts ecosystem. Part of our mission is to offer opportunities for emerging and professional artists to develop, which includes exhibiting work and curating exhibitions. We embrace artists and curators with no experience in these areas as well as those with extensive resumes. As we consider submissions, we intend to include a broad range of artistic practices.
Presented in April each year, TASTE, is one of Root Division’s largest fundraising events and unique exhibitions. The event features inspired local food, drink, art, & music all onsite in Root Division’s gallery & studios.
Each year, a guest curator presents an exhibition relating to the theme of food and drink. This exhibition has its own opening reception on the 2nd Saturday of the month and regular gallery hours, as well as being a prominent feature of the fundraising event.
Our gallery space serves many needs, and as such is a unique environment in which to curate a show. We strongly encourage that you visit our space and our website, familiarize yourself with our past & current exhibition program, and understand the mission of the organization before submitting a proposal. This is especially true for the TASTE exhibition, as there will be chefs and mixologists creating creative food and beverage in the exhibition space on the evening of the fundraiser. (For this reason, large-scale floor installations are not advised.) In order to promote as many artists as possible, we currently only accept proposals for group exhibitions. However, because of the multi-use of the space, we try to limit the amount of artists involved in TASTE to 15.
Strong proposals will be clear & concise, will present innovative & engaging ideas, and will intend to draw a diverse group of participants & visitors. While we do not exclude artists & curators from outside the Bay Area, our primary focus is presenting local emerging artists and local emerging curators.
Review Process:
Our Curatorial Committee of established Bay Area arts professionals meets in March, July & November to review submissions. We have an Initial Review & a Follow-Up Review Process.
Submissions accepted via mail or email.
Submission Fee: $10 fee (must be on file by 11/1/2014 for the email submission to be considered)

Mendocino Art Center Artist in Residence Program 2014/15
Deadline: April 11, 2014 (RECEIVE)
Artist in Residence Program 2014/15
Mendocino Art Center
Mendocino, California
September 2014 through May 2015
The AIR program provides a community-based environment that facilitates both educational and individual artistic growth at the Mendocino Art Center (MAC).
The AIR program was developed to bring emerging and established artists to this unique Northern California region. It provides both time and space for AIRs to develop their work. The MAC residency year runs from third week in September to mid-May.
Overview
The experience of living and working at MAC is shaped in many ways by its coastal location and by the singularly unique nature of its diverse facility. At MAC, we strive to provide an enriching experience that promotes an awareness of the arts with a global consciousness.
Qualifications
The program welcomes self-motivated, focused individuals working in traditional or non-traditional studio arts, and independent creative endeavors, from mixed media to writing. Applicants should hold a BA, BFA, MFA or life equivalency representing an established foundation of knowledge and body of work in their respective discipline. The primary basis for selection is the strength and quality of the applicant's work.
Artist residents must also have a clear objective for the time of their residency and be willing to live and work as part of a close-knit community. A successful residency depends in part on expectations consistent with what MAC has to offer. Applicants with no prior connection to MAC are strongly encouraged to visit or take a
class before applying for the program. It is also advised to contact the Coordinator specific to your studio practice or the Education Director for an independent type residency.

The 27th annual WASHINGTON CRAFT SHOW is a multi-media crafts exhibition and sale focusing on contemporary American craft. This prestigious show features 195 artists who are jury selected from all over the United States. This is an excellent opportunity for artists who work in the field of fine craft to present their work to a sophisticated multi-national marketplace at a national highly rated show with a strong established audience base.
JURORS: TBA
STANDARDS
Crafts artists who exhibit in Crafts America shows must be residents of and working in the United States. All work must be original and made by the artist, or with assistance under the artist's supervision. Work should be made by hand or with the use of appropriate tools.

Applicants must be juried in one of the following categories: basketry, ceramics, fiber decorative, fiber wearable, furniture (includes all media), glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper, and wood. Categories not accepted: fine arts such as painting, photography, lithography, etc., except when incorporated into an otherwise acceptable craft category.

A craftsperson who works in more than one media category must submit an application in each category. If only one application is accepted, only work in that category may be exhibited. All jewelry must be submitted under the Jewelry category.
Work that reflects a variety of styles within the same media can be submitted on one application provided that the images reflect the same proportion of work as will be represented in the booth. Again, jewelry is an exception and must be juried under the “Jewelry” category.
Only artists that collaborate and create one body of work as submitted to the jury may share a booth.
Crafts America reserves the right to invite up to 15% new artists to these shows to balance the style and content of the juried work.
