Our mission is to expose our local community to the most relevant regional artists who display exceptional creativity in the field of fiber and fiber-influenced mixed media, from the exquisitely crafted traditional to the groundbreaking experimental.

Participating artists will be eligible for several monetary awards, including Best of Show, 1st-3rd place, and People’s Choice. One artist will be selected as a Featured Artist and will be awarded a solo exhibit as part of the 2016 fiber577 show. Artists will again have the option to exhibit and sell their work at a post-show exhibit at the Angelwood Gallery in Grand Rapids, Ohio.

SHOW REQUIREMENTS (truncated)

* Artists may submit up to 3 pieces per $16 entry fee (non-refundable).
* Work must be original to the participating artist (no kits/patterns or work completed in workshops) and completed within the last 3 years. Work previously displayed at The 577 Foundation will not be accepted.
* We invite you to submit pieces that showcase innovative interpretations of fiber materials and/or techniques. Other media and disciplines can be used as long as fiber content is somehow integrated or a traditional fiber application is referenced.
* All wall pieces must be ready to hang and include all display hardware (ie appropriately sized slats/rods if needed). Sculptural/3D art will be displayed on available pedestals and tables at the committee’s discretion.
