21st National Exhibit
The Embroiderers’ Guild of America
Transylvania Community Arts Council
Brevard, NC
August 16-September 15, 2017
Mission Statement
The Embroiderers’ Guild of America acknowledges the value of needlework in art and history. The national exhibit is a representative selection of the best in artistic and technical works. It is through the needle’s eye that EGA embraces both traditional and contemporary needlework while expanding the recognition of embroidery as an art form. Participation in the 21st National Exhibit is open to EGA members and the public.
Eligibility
Two categories of embroidery will be accepted for the national exhibit.
Original: An original work is one, which from the beginning, is solely the creative product of the stitcher.
Adaptation: An adaptation is needlework inspired by or based upon a source other than needlework and modified through significant design changes. Source(s) are to be documented.
Any materials and any techniques will be juried as long as a portion of the work is done with a needle with an eye either by hand or by machine.
Entries must not have been accepted for a previous EGA national exhibit.
Each entrant may submit up to three entries.
All work must be free of any violation of existing copyrights or trademarks.
Teaching pieces will not be considered.
Pieces must have been completed from 2014 to present.
Works deemed inappropriate by the jurors or gallery will be refused.
Entry Fees
For EGA members, a non-refundable entry fee of $30 for the first entry, $25 for the second, and $20 for the third entry will be charged.
For non-members, a non-refundable entry fee of $45 for the first entry, $30 for the second, and $25 for the third entry will be charged.
