In addition, as part of their general training, Fellows will also have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of museum activities, such as exhibition and program
planning, volunteer training, art history lectures and gallery tours.

New Directions: A Juried Exhibition of the Textile Society of America

New Directions: A Juried Exhibition
of the Textile Society of America
Craft & Folk Art Museum (CAFAM)
Los Angeles, CA
September 13, 2014 – January 4, 2015



This exhibition is in conjunction with the 2014 Symposium, New Directions: Examining the Past, Creating the Future.


About New Directions: At previous symposia, participating artists, designers, and craftspeople have presented their work in the form of papers and workshops—as have participating scholars. The nature of artistic production, however, deserves a presentation format more appropriate to the medium, and this year, the TSA Board has decided to provide a new forum for artists. TSA is please to announce that the 2014 biennial symposium will feature our first juried exhibition, hosted by Los Angeles’ Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM). As an institution at the vanguard of contemporary craft/art/design, clearly in sync with the symposium theme, New Directions, TSA views CAFAM as an ideal partner for this exhibition.

Eligibility: The applications process is open to those whose practice draws on textile materials, techniques, or knowledge, widely defined. Applicants must be TSA members, as is true for all symposium presenters, but anyone is welcome to join TSA at the time of application. You can join through the TSA website at http://www.textilesocietyofamerica.org/join.

Submitted work must have been completed in the last 3 years. All artwork must be display ready with display hardware included. Installation pieces will need to be installed and removed by artists. All artwork, crates and cartons included, must fit through a standard 39” x 6’10” doorway. Installations may be larger when completed but components must fit through a standard door.

Media: The exhibition is open those whose practice draws on textile materials, techniques, or knowledge, widely defined. This includes, but is not limited to, 2D, 3D and 4D contemporary art, and unique functional pieces such as garments, rugs, coverlets, etc. Please see the gallery floor plan to get a sense of size limitations.
Digital work will be considered and a limited number of screens are available. Please inquire about specifications.

Jury and Entry Procedures: All entries will be judged from digital images. Please read the Submission Process on the following page. Each artist may enter up to three artworks. Each artwork may be represented by no more than three images.

Jurors: Gerhardt Knodel, Matilda McQuaid, Carol Shaw Sutton, Tali Weinberg
