Open Call to Artists
Deadline to Apply: Monday, January 2, 2023.
Exhibit on Display: February 11 - April 1, 2023
Entry Fee: $25 for FCA members and $30 for non-members
The Floyd Center for the Arts is pleased to open a call to wood and fiber artists throughout the United States for a national juried exhibition, Fibers of Nature. As two different substances that constantly appear in every-day life, both wood and fiber can be transformed from raw material into a multiplicity of functional pieces or fine art. The fibers of nature appear in many forms, including all forms of wood, grapevine, sweetgrass, hair, cotton, silk, hemp, wool, linen, paper, and more. The intent of this group exhibition is to highlight the beauty that is manifested in these different forms, and to illustrate how artists are able to weave, sculpt, and imagine these fibers into art.
This is a national, juried call and all accepted works will be exhibited in our main gallery space from Saturday, February 11 to Saturday, April 1. All submitted works must be made from at least 50% natural fiber. Artists are responsible for shipping or delivering work to FCA and for any return shipping. There will be no substitutions allowed. First, second, and third place awards will be granted, as well as a “People’s Choice” award. To participate in this exhibition a non refundable application fee of $25 for FCA members and $30 for non-members is required.
