Eye on the D: Seeing Detroit with New Eyes

Two Deadlines: (ONLINE)

September 2, 2013
September 6, 2013 (Late)


Eye on the D: Seeing Detroit with New Eyes

Women's Caucus for Art Michigan
555 Gallery
Detroit, MI
November 1-21, 2013



Eye on the D: Seeing Detroit with New Eyes focuses on the rich multi-textured character of the city of Detroit in the midst of radical change. Whether it’s the current physical landscape, evolving neighborhoods or political makeup, show us evidence of a re-imagined terrain. What is the next chapter in the story of this quintessential American city, or what whispers not to be forgotten? Detroit’s historic artistic achievements are monumental - the architecture of Albert Kahn and Eliel Saarinen, the auto industry’s design revolution, the public murals of Diego Rivera and the intensely personal work of Frida Kahlo, the music of Motown and Hip Hop.

Recent creative momentum has given voice to a new vision of the city in this post-Fordian post-modern era and gained national and international attention. How do you see the city of the future, the city in your imagination, what inspires you about Detroit? Last year the Michigan Chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art gave a Detroit Art Tour for attendees of the National WCA Summer Board Meeting. Response was so great that the Michigan Chapter organized this exhibition to instigate a national response to our city, and to hear from artists from around Michigan and especially from Detroit about how they see this time of crisis and regeneration.

Eligibility: All self-defined women artists may submit up to 3 works of any medium.

Textile Society of America Symposium Vendor Opportunity

Two Deadlines: (RECEIVE)
April 1, 2010 [Early Registration]
September 6, 2010 [Final Deadline]

Vendor Opportunity
Textiles and Settlement: From Plains Space to Cyber Space
2010 Textile Society of America Symposium
Cornhusker Marriott Hotel
Lincoln, Nebraska
October 7 – 9, 2010


The 2010 Textile Society of America Symposium, “Textiles and Settlement: From Plains Space to Cyber Space,” will be held in Lincoln, Nebraska (Home of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Textiles, Clothing & Design, the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery, and the International Quilt Study Center & Museum) October 6 – 9, 2010.

"Textiles and Settlement: From Plains Space to Cyber Space”, is the biennial symposium of the Textile Society of America. This symposium provides an opportunity for members to present their research, exhibit artistic work, disseminate information and network. To find out more about the symposium, please check out our website at http://www.textilesociety.org.

For every symposium, we invite vendors to set up shop at the convention center. This year, we have reserved the recently remodeled Cornhusker Marriott Hotel in downtown Lincoln for the vendor marketplace and the symposium activities. Symposium participants enjoy shopping for wearable art, ethnic textiles, yarn, fabric and many other types of textile items. The marketplace will also be promoted and open to the public, who may want to stop in and do some early holiday shopping.

The vendor hall will be divided into 10' x 10' spaces. You may reserve adjoining spaces, or you may share one space with another vendor. Each space is provided with one 3x8 table and one chair. Vendors may register separately for participation in conference events, know however, that some lectures and demonstrations will be held during the scheduled marketplace hours and you will need to arrange for someone to watch your table.

Spaces are assigned on a first come, first served basis.
