Postmark Deadline for Submissions: APRIL 1 4 , 2006
Crafts at the Castle is a showcase for the finest contemporary craft and design in America, a standard established by our first show in 1986 and sustained every year since then.
All work must be original, executed by hand or with the use of appropriate tools, and created by individual craftspeople. Sales representatives and agents for groups of craftspeople are not eligible; each artist must be juried individually, and if selected, must be in attendance for the duration of the show. Work should be
well-conceived and must show imagination, evidence of “handmadeness”, originality and the mark of the artist's individuality. Artists applying to the show must apply under a specific category.
A R T I S T R E C O G N I T I O N A W A R D S
Each year at Crafts at the Castle, the show jury selects three artist award winners to represent superb artistry and workmanship in three categories: Excellence in Craft ($2,500), Excellence in a specific Craft Medium($1,500), and New Face/New Work ($1,500) for a first-time exhibitor in the show. In 2006, the specific Craft Medium award will be chosen in Ceramics. These awards, presented by Family Service of Greater Boston, include financial prizes totaling $5,500.
In addition, Family Service is proud to collaborate with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to present the MFA Director’s Choice Award, a purchase prize chosen from among Crafts at the Castle exhibitors by an MFA curator. The piece chosen for this award and purchased by the Museum enters the Museum’s collection.

Call For Applications for TWO Fine Furnishings Shows
The First Annual Fine Furnishings Milwaukee Show
Show Dates: September 23 & 24, 2006
Show Location: Midwest Airline Center
The Eleventh Annual Fine Furnishings Providence Show
Show Dates: October 27 – 29, 2006
Show Location: Rhode Island Convention Center
No deadline and no fee.
Producers of the Fine Furnishings Shows in Providence, Rhode Island and Milwaukee, Wisconsin are accepting applications from artisans interested in being invited to exhibit. Each Fine Furnishings Show presents a marketplace for handcrafted furniture, decorative accessories and original art.
Both fine furnishings shows provide a venue for artisans to meet with designers, decorators, members of the home decor media, collectors, and the general public to make direct sales, initiate commissions, and generate publicity about their work. Many dedicated exhibitors have developed long-term relationships with clients they originally met at fine furnishings. The shows are open to artists and designers residing and working in North America who are the principal behind the design and craftsmanship of the work. All work must be originally designed, handcrafted and appropriate for home decor. Artisans interested in applying to exhibit in either or both shows may download an application here or from the website: www.FineFurnishingsShow.com.
Alternatively, they may call 401 841-9201 to have an application faxed or mailed.
Invitations to new applicants will be issued based on type of work, fit with the show, and available space. The show is 60% handcrafted furniture - 30% is handmade accessories and fine art - 10% of the show is guilds, museums, schools with student work and our media partners. The show will be expanding by 50 booths this year.
Both fine furnishings shows are officially endorsed by The Furniture Society, a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization founded in 1996 to support the creation of fine studio furniture that is produced in a small shop environment, rather than a large factory.
The Fine Furnishings Shows are owned and produced by KL Communications, Inc., of Newport, Rhode Island.

The Arts Center of the Capital Region is seeking work for an open call and for possible thematic exhibitions. Visual artists in all media are invited to submit slides for consideration.
Submissions can be of any media, and will be viewed anonymously by a panel of professional artists and curators.
A. Open Call
The Arts Center is interested in reviewing new work in all media - painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video,photography, performance, and mixed media presentations.
B. 2006 Ceramics Regional
Independent curator and critic Thomas Piché, Jr. seeks contemporary clay artists living within a 100-mile radius of The Arts Center of The Capital Region for an exhibition in the center’s Main Gallery. Preference will be given to sculptural
ceramics that are expressively content driven; to forms that may refer to the historical utility of the genre, but in ways that confront the characteristics of function; and to work whose makers view ceramic craft as a starting point and not a final goal. This exhibition is scheduled for Fall 2006.
C. Call for curatorial proposals
Exhibition proposals must include the following:
-A typed curatorial statement of not more than 125
words that includes the concept of the exhibition.
-At least 10 images representative of work being
considered for inclusion in proposed exhibition.
Images should be printed hard copies, slides or
CD-ROM (this category only).
-A current resume or curriculum vitae listing
curatorial experience.
-Current resumes or bios of proposed artists to be
included in exhibition. Indicate any special technical
requirements or gallery preparation.
-A SASE is required for the return of materials.
*The Arts Center hires only curators with previous
experience and does not accept proposals where the
curator is one of the exhibiting artists.
