A panel of judges will evaluate the submissions on the basis of the following criteria: excellence in tapestry technique; an awareness of the textile ‘language;’ and creativity in imagery. For the purposes of this award, tapestry is defined as hand woven, weft faced fabric using discontinuous wefts. Students who work in both traditional and more experimental methods are encouraged to apply. Multimedia work will be considered as long as the primary medium is tapestry.

Woven Together: Firestorm

Deadline: April 8, 2013 (POSTMARK) or (EMAIL)


Woven Together: Firestorm
Pikes Peak Weavers Guild of Colorado Springs
Business of Art Center
Manitou Springs, Colorado
June 21, 2013 to August 3, 2013



By early August, an astounding 42,933 wildfires had been entered into the U.S. database and 6.4 million acres had burned. The Waldo Canyon fire alone consumed two lives, 346 homes and 18, 247 acres. At its peak, 32,000 people were evacuated from Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and nearby communities. 2012 proved to be one of the western region’s worst fire seasons in decades.

As artists, how do we respond to disasters like these? We use our medium to create work that expresses the emotional turmoil of seeing, experiencing and surviving wildfires: horror, fear, loss, relief, gratitude and renewal. From all of these comes a commemoration, Woven Together: Firestorm.

Entries must contain handweaving, spinning, or dyeing techniques executed by the artist and must be finished objects (not yardage or skeins). Hand-manipulated fiber techniques such as basketry, kumihimo, and ply-split braiding are eligible for entry. Traditional and non-traditional weave structures, fibers, and dyes may be used for both functional and decorative textiles. Entries must be original, completed within the last two years, not executed under supervision or using a kit, and not previously exhibited or published.

Each artist may submit up to three entries. The fee is $15 per entry and is non-refundable.

Juror: Jeanne Steiner is a textile artist who has merged weaving with dyeing for over 35 years. She holds a B.F.A. in Art from Colorado State University and is currently serving as Weaving Instructor and Arts and Crafts Program Director at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Small Tapestry International 3: Outside the Line

Deadline: October 31, 2012 (RECEIVE) OR (ONLINE)

Small Tapestry International 3: Outside the Line
The American Tapestry Alliance


The American Tapestry Alliance is pleased to announce Small Tapestry International 3: Outside the Line, a juried, international exhibition of small-scale tapestries. Artists are encouraged to explore the conceptual, technical and metaphorical implications of the theme, Outside the Line, as they develop work to submit.

Innovation and experimentation within the technique of handwoven tapestry are welcomed Outside the Line asks you to first consider the concept of line. Is it a geometric concept of “breadthless length” or a mark made in art? Is it an indication of boundaries, border or limits, or is it a course of action or policy? Is line a series of generations descended from a common ancestor or the words an actor says in a play? How do you express being outside the line?

Eligibility
Entry to STI3: Outside the Line is open to all tapestry artists who design and weave their own tapestries (defined as “hand-woven, weft-faced fabric with discontinuous wefts”), either individually or collaboratively (all assistants shall be named). 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 2011. Entries may not have been shown previously in any ATA exhibition, including the Unjuried Small Format show. Artists may submit up to three pieces, but a maximum of one piece per artist will be accepted.

Juror

Hesse McGraw, Chief Curator of Exhibitions and Projects at the Bemis Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
