Nov. 21, 2014 - Dec. 19, 2014



From the continual notifications from emails, texts, tweets, and other social media to the never ending next important thing to look up, there isn’t a moment that we are not drowning in a sea of information. There is always more to see, to read, to watch, to learn.

How can we hope to sift through it? When is there time to contemplate and process the information that we already have taken in if we are perpetually taking in more?

What is the consequences of all the readily available private and public information? What become of the information that you set adrift on the sea of information?

Drowning in a Sea of Information explores our new paradigm of information overload.


Eligibility:

Drowning in a Sea of Information seeks to present artwork that explores the concept of information overload. A broad approach and interpretation is desired.

Media: Open to all media.

Jurying Process: Digital images must be submitted through the Stamps School’s online exhibition submission form in order to be considered for selection.


Work • Ann Arbor is the School’s first dedicated gallery space on central campus since art became a department at the University in 1926. Work is designed to provide an exhibition venue primarily for undergraduate students. Director: Mark Nielsen

Art-In-Transit
Maryland Transit Administration
Baltimore, MD
2015 and Beyond



The Maryland Transit Administration’s (MTA) General Engineering Consultant Team (GEC) seeks artists to create enhancements for the future Purple Line light rail project. The Purple Line, expected to be operational in 2020, will connect Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties in Maryland.

Artists are being asked to submit applications by Friday, November 14, 2014, to be considered for future opportunities along the Purple Line. This Call for Artists is open to all professional artists, preferably with public art experience. This call is open to artists from a broad range of media, and will be used to generate pools of artists who could be selected to compete for specific projects in the future.

Approximately 21 locations have been identified as Art-In-Transit opportunities, including fences, railings, ground planes, feature walls, retaining walls, bridges, tunnel portals, way-finding pylons, and station canopies and windscreens.

The second phase of artist selection is expected to begin in 2015, with a competitive interview or proposal process for each opportunity. Artists who are invited to submit proposals will be offered a stipend commensurate with the scope of the project and the proposal requirements.

Artists will be asked to work with the communities along the corridor to create artwork that highlights the cultural vitality of the region, and reflects the artistic, cultural and/or historical interests of the surrounding communities.

This Call to Artists / Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is being issued by the General Engineering Consultant (GEC), who is contracted to provide planning, engineering and design services for the Purple Line on behalf of the MTA. Ultimately, final design, construction and operation services will be contracted to a public-private partnership which, after award, will become the Soliciting Organization for the Art-in-Transit Program and which will use the artist pools developed by this process to issue solicitations for specific project opportunities.

Once your work is published in Knitty, you may include a picture on your website with a link to the Knitty website.

2015 Chattahoochee Biennial of Textiles: Velocity of Textiles

Deadline: March 1, 2015 {ONLINE}


Velocity of Textiles
2015 Chattahoochee Biennial of Textiles
Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild
Ernest G Welch Gallery
Georgia State University
Atlanta, GA
May 14, 2015 to July 31, 2015




The Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild announces an international exhibition of art that references and/or uses fiber, fiber techniques and fiber technologies in innovative ways.

Deeply rooted in tradition, textile arts are an expression of the hands and the heart of the maker. Textile artists engage with the material quality of their medium. We create unity and function with fiber, color, texture, design, and pattern. This symbiotic relationship of material and vision creates an emotive response in both the maker and the viewer; when engaged with the work, both are transported by the work at hand.

CONCEPT

Work that reflects the forward trajectory of textiles within a twenty first century intersection of conceptual innovation, new and old techniques and materials, coupled with traditional attention to craftsmanship


ENTRIES: SUBMISSION CRITERIA AND ELIGIBILITY (truncated)

• All US and international artists working in fiber media are eligible to enter.

Vessel
The Guild of Book Workers
New York, NY
2015 - 2017 Exhibition



The Guild of Book Workers invites all members to participate in its 2015-2017 traveling juried exhibition, Vessel. The book as vessel inspires beautiful metaphor - a craft for traveling, a container, a holder, a receiver, a transporter. Across time and culture, the vessel is at the center of many ceremonies and rites of passage. Native American cultures regarded the vessel as a portal to a sacred realm. The book as craft is our vessel to sail the high seas, to hold our dearest memories, and to indicate the pulse of life. Guild of Book Workers members are invited to interpret “vessel” as broadly or as narrowly as they wish.

ELIGIBILITY
All entrants must be members in good standing of the Guild of Book Workers at the time of submission and carry a current membership throughout the entire run of the exhibition. Member registration may accompany entry, along with entry fee. Entrants may submit a total of two works. An Intent to Enter form must be submitted online by October 17, 2014 in order to be notified of exhibitions updates and a link to the online entry form. Works will be juried from digital images.

SCOPE OF EXHIBIT
This exhibition will feature approximately 50 works by Guild members. Opening in the spring of 2015, the Vessel exhibition will travel to between six and nine venues across the U.S., closing in the spring of 2017.

The American Tapestry Alliance is a not-for-profit, member-supported organization seeking to exhibit the best of contemporary tapestry. ATA invites all tapestry artists to submit works to Small Tapestry International 4: Honoring Tradition, Inspiring Innovation. Artists are encouraged to explore the conceptual, technical and metaphorical implications of the theme as they design their submissions. We invite entries not only from artists who work within more traditional definitions of tapestry, but also those artists whose work expands upon the core principles of the medium as it explores new techniques and processes.

Eligibility
Entry to STI 4: Honoring Tradition, Inspiring Innovation is open to all artists who design and weave their own tapestries either individually or collaboratively (all assistants shall be named). For the purposes of this exhibition, tapestry is defined as hand woven, weft faced fabric using discontinuous wefts. Artists who work in both traditional and more experimental methods are encouraged to enter. Multimedia work will be considered as long as the primary medium is tapestry. Entries must be one-of-a-kind and have been completed after January 2013. Entries may not have been shown previously in any ATA exhibition, including the Un-juried Small Format show. Artists may submit up to three pieces, but a maximum of one piece per artist will be accepted.

Size Restrictions: The size of the tapestry may not exceed a total of 100 square inches (625 square cm) and cannot exceed 20 inches (50 cm) in any one dimension. Three-dimensional pieces may not exceed 10 inches (25 cms) in height, width, or depth. Tapestries must be mounted. The mount may extend up to 3 inches beyond the tapestry on every side. If accepted, the work must arrive ready to hang.
