Call to Artists - Umpqua Valley Arts Center - "SYMBOLS, LETTERS, WORDS ---- TEXT US!"

The Umpqua Valley Arts Center in Roseburg has published a call to all Oregon artists for a juried exhibit entitled "SYMBOLS, LETTERS, WORDS ------- TEXT US!"  Artists are challenged to create a work of art in which some element of written or symbolic language or text is an integral visual part of the composition.  Actual meaning may be superfluous --- or it may be vital --- but it's the visual aspect that will be considered most important.  Think of text as mark-making.  The juror is John Olbrantz, Director of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Wilamette University in Salem.  Submissions are due by August 10th, 2011.  For a complete prospectus, visit the Umpqua Valley Arts Center website.

The ArT QuILT ExPERIENCE Call for Entry

Submission Deadline: April 15, 2011
Exhibition Dates:  June 12 - July 31, 2011
Juror:  Jonathan Holstein
Stone Quarry Hill Art Park
Cazenovia, New York

Contemporary quilts are a wonderful balance between the traditional, modern and abstract.
Artists have taken a primarily utilitarian form and used it as an interpretative tool to express their thoughts and ideas. In addition to using the traditional methods of piecing and construction, these artists have pushed the boundaries by incorporating new materials and technologies.

THE ArT- QuILT ExPERIENCE exhibit celebrates the diversity and innovation found in today’s quilts.

See website for details.
