Contemporary blackwork should be the main feature of the pieces. Works should be no longer than sixteen inches (41 cm) on any side, including a frame if applicable. Three dimensional works will also be accepted (16” max. in any direction.)
CD Entries will be accepted only.

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.
Tetitelbaum Awards
Through the generosity of the Teitelbaum Legacy Gift, STI 3 entries are eligible for the Teitelbaum Family Awards. First Place-$300.00 and Second Place-$200.00. The recipients of the awards will be determined by the juror.

Wearable Art Awards
Port Moody Arts Centre
Port Moody, British Columbia
CANADA
Performance: February 16 & 17, 2013
Exhibition: February 23—March 14, 2013
The Wearable Art Awards is not a fashion show, it is a multi-media performance where the human body becomes a living, breathing, moving canvas. We are looking for more than a “pretty dress.” We are asking you to go deep into your imagination to create a wearable piece of art that challenges what most consider to be wearable, or everyday fashion.
The Wearable Art Awards is committed to challenging artists of all mediums to push their imaginations to create evocative, imaginative and thought provoking sculpture for the human body.
An entry must fall into one of the following three form-based categories. Cash prizes will be presented to category winners as determined by the jury.
• Headdress
• Brassiere
• Complete Outfit
All entries will be juried based on the following criteria:
• Complete entry forms, images and fees received by deadline
• All entries must be wearable, and able to withstand being put on and off our models multiple times for photo shoots, fittings and performances
• Entry must not have been previously exhibited in the Tri-Cities area (Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam)
• Entries must be suitable for viewers of all ages

Wearable Art Awards
Port Moody Arts Centre
Port Moody, British Columbia
CANADA
Performance: February 16 & 17, 2013
Exhibition: February 23—March 14, 2013
The Wearable Art Awards is not a fashion show, it is a multi-media performance where the human body becomes a living, breathing, moving canvas. We are looking for more than a “pretty dress.” We are asking you to go deep into your imagination to create a wearable piece of art that challenges what most consider to be wearable, or everyday fashion.
The Wearable Art Awards is committed to challenging artists of all mediums to push their imaginations to create evocative, imaginative and thought provoking sculpture for the human body.
An entry must fall into one of the following three form-based categories. Cash prizes will be presented to category winners as determined by the jury.
• Headdress
• Brassiere
• Complete Outfit
All entries will be juried based on the following criteria:
• Complete entry forms, images and fees received by deadline
• All entries must be wearable, and able to withstand being put on and off our models multiple times for photo shoots, fittings and performances
• Entry must not have been previously exhibited in the Tri-Cities area (Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam)
• Entries must be suitable for viewers of all ages
• Creativity and originality
• Design and the use of multiple elements and techniques
• Quality of workmanship and construction
• Overall presentation
• Conceptual meaning and impact
During the performance, entries will be judged on this criteria, weighted in favour of stage presence and visual impact.
