We are surrounded by cloth from the cradle to the grave and by exploring our universal emotional connection to fibre we share the stories and values that mean the most to us.

There are many sides to every story and Selvedge is dedicated to finding and nurturing textiles from every angle. We believe that textiles unite all humanity and in surveying the development of society it is clear that from a spider’s web to the world-wide web, textiles appear as the protagonist.</i></span></span><br />

Emerge: Membership Grants for New & Emerging Artists <br />
American Tapestry Alliance</b><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, ATA is now able to subsidize a limited number of memberships for new and emerging, young tapestry artists. Young is defined as no older than 40. Emerging artists are those who are in the early stage of their career, who have garnered some achievements, but not an extensive record of accomplishments.<br />
<br />
Interested artists may apply for a one-year membership at the Studio Circle Level. Award recipients may apply for a second year of membership. In exchange for the membership, recipients must spend at least 20 hours volunteering for ATA over the course of their membership year.<br />
<br />
Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Submit your application online, or mail a universal CD containing:<br />
A short biography including name, contact information and how you came to discover tapestry.<br />
A statement indicating why you are a good candidate to receive a complimentary ATA membership<br />
Optional: Digital images of tapestries that you have woven, along with their title, dimensions and materials.<br />

<br />
<br />
Artist In Residence Program<br />
Agate Fossil Beds</b><br />
Niobrara River Valley<br />
U. S. National Park Service<br />
Harrison, NE <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The solitude and open spaces of the Niobrara River Valley represent a multi-generational mixing and evolution of life forms and life-styles, from millions of years ago to the present. Artists may find this landscape and the park museum collections inspiring for their work, and discover new ways to convey the mysteries of deep time and this special corner of the globe to the public. The park will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2015 and hopefully the medium of art can contribute to those festivities.<br />
<br />
Agate Fossil Beds National Monument is located in Sioux County in the northwest corner of Nebraska. The Wyoming border is 17 miles to the west, and the South Dakota border 42 miles to the north. The county's only town, its county seat, is Harrison, population 251. The 2,000-square mile county itself has a population of only 1,500 people. Much of the area's land is used for ranching and has a carrying capacity of at least 25 acres for each cow-calf pair. <br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Program Description</i>:<br />
<br />
Artists of all mediums (visual, musical, theatrical, literary) are invited to apply to stay from two to four weeks in furnished park housing (either a modern 3 bedroom, shared house, or a more remote 1950s ranchstead). Artists provide their own materials and expenses and produce, at least, one product (along with its copyright) to be donated to the park for any and all future uses. Artists will also actively engage the public in some manner (occasional demonstrations, talks, school programs, or exhibits) during and possibly after their visit.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>How to Apply</i>:<br />
<br />
Contact the park (tel. 308-668-2211, or 308-436-9760); email: e-mail us) and be ready to share your statement of purpose and portfolio. Artists will be enrolled as park volunteers, which provides worker's compensation insurance. The artist should be self-sufficient and ready to work closely with park staff and the local community.<br />

<br />
<br />
The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission’s Community Gallery promotes, sells and exhibits the work of New Mexico artists and artisans, with the emphasis on Santa Fe, through exhibitions, professional training and community involvement in the arts. Gallery programming provides a range of services, exhibitions and activities that engage the public as well as support the efforts of local artists/artisans. <br />
<br />
The Community Gallery features themed exhibitions that run for two to three month intervals and display the full breadth and depth of the art produced by local artists and artisans in Santa Fe and New Mexico. Themed exhibitions ensure that both contemporary and traditional work in all media are shown, creating more varied, interesting and vital exhibits.<br />
<br />
In order for an artist to be considered for participation in exhibitions, the Gallery must have a portfolio of that artist’s work in the artist archive. <br />
<br />
Possible participants will be selected from the archive based on the quality of their work, their contribution to the full breadth of the exhibit media, and the appropriateness of their work to the theme (if applicable). After receiving a portfolio, that portfolio will remain in the Community Gallery’s files for future consideration in any upcoming shows. There is no need to re-apply.<br />
<br />
A goal of the gallery is to offer the broadest inclusion for all artists and involve a large portion of the local population by offering more than the display of artwork. Exhibitions feature programs and events that invite a varied and diverse audience. <br />

Chicago, IL<br />

The FugScreens Residency Program provides equipment and space for artists who wish to develop a body of screen-printing work, but lack the resources to do so independently.<br />
<br />
Residents have scheduled access to the studio however FugScreens is unable to offer 24 hour access to the facilities due to legal restrictions on the building site. FugScreens staff will also be available to provide guidance and feedback.<br />
<br />
Interested persons may fill out an application online. Proposals may be for a traditional edition of screen prints, textile work or a less conventional use of the medium. The resident will be expected to meet periodically (established at the beginning of the Residency) with Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff, Director of FugScreens to share ideas and works in progress.<br />
<br />
At the conclusion or the residency, an optional reception displaying the work will be hosted by Fugscreens Studios. FugScreens hopes to encourage emerging Chicago artists to produce high quality work in a friendly and exciting environment.<br />

Submissions are reviewed by the Exhibitions Committee, which consists of artists and art professionals, as well as the Art Center’s Director of Exhibitions and Executive Director.

<br />
<br />
<br />
HAM Program for Independent Curators <br />
Hunterdon Art Museum </b><br />
Clinton, New Jersey <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Hunterdon Art Museum focuses on new and innovative work in all forms and mediums with the goal of creating dialogue, generating ideas and sparking creativity. HAM has a particular interest in work that explores the intersection of art, craft and design and work that displays the qualities of craftsmanship while pushing the limits of the materials in innovative ways.<br />
<br />
The Museum seeks proposals that focus on innovative work by artists of outstanding potential and established artists who have international, national or regional reputations. Proposals may be for thematic or solo shows. Curators should have a track record of creating exhibitions in the fields of contemporary art, craft, and design; however, the Museum will also accept for review proposals from emerging curators developing their careers. Curators may not include their own work in the proposed exhibition. Additionally, the exhibition should not have been on view within 50 miles of the Museum’s location.<br />
<br />
The HAM Program for Independent Curators is a dynamic project that opens the way for an array of ideas and viewpoints on contemporary art, craft, and design to be presented in the Hunterdon Art Museum’s exhibitions program.<br />
<br />
Ideally, proposals should be submitted one to two years in advance of the proposed exhibition; however, shorter lead times will be considered and in some cases desired. Please do not send original art or documents, as materials will not be returned. The Museum will contact curators of interest for an in-person discussion with the Museum’s Exhibitions Committee to determine whether the proposal is feasible.<br />

<br />
<br />
Designers in Residence Programme<br />
2015 Brief: Migration<br />
Design Museum </b><br />
London, England<br />
2016 Season<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Designers in Residence programme at the Design Museum is a core part of the museum's activity, and exists to provide practising designers, across any discipline, with time and space away from their regular environment to reflect, research and consider new ways of developing their practice.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Design Museum is expanding its residency programme so that, from 2016, it includes learning, public engagement activities and training, with the aim of making the design process accessible to all of its visitors. Residents will in future be based on site, where they'll have access to studio space and shared workshop facilities. These spaces, viewable by museum audiences, will foster more direct engagement and exchange between residents and visitors.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2015 Brief: Migration</b><br />
<br />
<br />
“The Design Museum’s move to the former Commonwealth Institute in Holland Park finally takes place in 2016. The museum is growing in both expertise and ambition as its staff, and the wider design community of which it is a part, begin to explore the complexities of a larger building and a new role.<br />
<br />
This seems like a good background against which to explore the theme of migration, a word with a variety of meanings. It is striking that in America, for example, those who choose to move there are described as emigrants. Britain calls those same people immigrants — they are incomers. In the US, the emphasis appears to be on the act of leaving somewhere else, the implication perhaps being that surely just about anybody would be prepared to leave their home and make a move to the US if they could. Without either prefix, migration is a less loaded term. It also has a digital application. Data is made to migrate.<br />
<br />
This year's Designers in Residence programme, then, invites designers to respond to this theme. It can be a reflection of objects or processes that imply movement, or transition, of shifting and cross-fertilising cultures, or of mobility.” Deyan Sudjic<br />

<br />
CENTRAL BOOKING is a new kind of art gallery with a welcoming atmosphere, New York’s own space focusing on the art of the book.<br />
<br />
We exhibit the breadth of the various approaches to the form, since the artist’s book can be anything from a pamphlet done inexpensively on a copy machine to a letterpress codex bound book integrating words and images to a sculptural piece that is an object itself.<br />
<br />
CENTRAL BOOKING always welcomes viewing the work of artists. However, new artists for the Artist’s Book Gallery are only added if the work differs significantly from artists already represented.<br />
<br />
Work of all media on the topics of art and science will be reviewed on an ongoing basis for exhibitions in HaberSpace. We do only 4 exhibitions annually so please be patient, you will be contacted when the particular theme is being curated. Themes presently open for submissions are on Memory/the Mind, Psychology, Archeology, Architecture/Engineering, Technology, Criminology/Forensics, Paleontology. Please note, these are art and science exhibitions, your work should engage with that relationship.<br />
<br />
To submit:<br />
<br />
Please send specific weblinks or jpegs of the actual work you wish to exhibit (not just a link to your website), with the name of the scientific theme the work is for if for HaberSpace exhibitions (or ABG if for the Artist’s Book Gallery) in the subject line of the email. If you are submitting for more than one theme, please send separate emails for each. Make sure title, size, medium and price are included for each work submitted (work must be available for sale).<br />

Old Furnace Artist Residency <br />
Jon Henry</b><br />
Harrisonburg, Virginia<br />
June 2014 - January 2015<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Old Furnace Artist Residency is an ongoing artist project curated by Jon Henry.* The residency is located in Harrisonburg, Virginia. It is open to all forms of artistry: sculpture, painting, video, sound, conceptual, poetry, fiction writers, critical theorists etc. Special attention is given to practices which are focused on social justice and being socially engaged. Emerging artists are especially encouraged to apply. <br />
<br />
O.F.A.R. seeks to expose/engage artists to/with (rural) communities. The residency is at no cost to the participating artists but they will need to provide their own transit to Harrisonburg; Participating artists are asked to donate one piece of art to the residency in exchange for the room, board, and food. This art collection will be used for future exhibitions and OFAR projects/publications. The ultimate goal is to donate the residency’s collection to a permanent museum or archive. Collaborative projects with Jon are encouraged but not required. Creative space is limited but assistance will be given as needed. <br />
<br />
Previous residents have found funding from other local institutions.<br />
<br />
The second batch of residencies will be from June 2014 - January 2015. Artists can stay for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 1 month.<br />

* Jon Henry Artist Statement<br />
Since moving back to Virginia, I have become more interested in creating works based in and on the land. I am further exploring my southern culture and its intersections with queerness. Part of this project includes the development of an artist residency, Old Furnace Artist Residency, which offers (free) creative spaces to encourage emerging, community based, and/or politically motivated art. The project services as the over arching title and ‘institution’ for a variety of my community and land based projects.

American Craft Magazine</b><br />
American Craft Council<br />
Minneapolis, MN 55413<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
American Craft is aimed at independent thinkers with a keen interest in the creative process. These readers recognize the many design choices they have in everyday life, from their creative pursuits and the artful objects in their homes and workplaces to the clothing they wear and media they engage with. American Craft helps readers make excellent, constructive, creative choices. The core audience values community, sustainability, quality, and authenticity.<br />
<br />
We value freelancers who can write for a general creative audience with clarity and insight. We love good storytelling that explores a craft artist’s struggles, doubts, determination, and triumphs. We like to read about how craft shows up in modern life, particularly if the writing is bright and accessible. When touching on craft theory or history, writers should take special care to write clearly and for a non-academic audience.<br />
<br />
We work primarily with experienced arts journalists who are thorough and disciplined in their reporting and able to write with depth and nuance. The ideal writer can be counted on to:<br />
<br />
• Keep us apprised of changes in story concept at the reporting stage<br />
• Write to the agreed-upon length <br />
• Meet all deadlines<br />
• Collaborate on editing, responding quickly to questions and suggestions <br />
• Help to gather images when necessary<br />
<br />
We are interested in:<br />
<br />
• Artists who use unusual materials<br />
• Artists who’ve traveled unusual paths in their work<br />
• Emerging artists whose work is remarkable<br />
• Veteran artists with impressive work that has evolved over a lifetime<br />
• Artists going through a transition, reaching a pinnacle, or facing a challenge<br />
• Artists working in collaborative partnerships<br />
• Artists for whom craft has been a means for healing and learning about life<br />
• Handmade goods that are stylish, innovative, and affordable<br />
• Craft that brings together a community for a good purpose<br />
• Craft that reflects values of sustainability and community<br />
• People whose work might not be considered studio craft but who bring a sort of craft devotion to their creative pursuits<br />
• People who’ve collected craft and art objects in a beautiful living space<br />

<br />
The Rental-Sales Program and the Gift Gallery of the Salem Art Association (SAA) are consignment venues at the Bush Barn Art Center for regional artists to display, rent and sell their work. Art rentals and sales support both the artists and SAA’s educational programs. For these venues, saleability is a top priority, creative approaches are always valued, and superior craftsmanship is a necessity. Our clientele shops in the Gift Gallery year-round for fine art, fine craft, functional crafts and handmade gift items by Pacific Northwest artists. Many art sales are also made through our Rent-to-Buy program, which allows qualified customers the opportunity to rent work of art for three months, after which they may apply the rental fee to the purchase price with the artist receiving a commission on both. Additionally, we have a select number of corporate rental accounts.<br />
<br />
<br />
EXHIBITION PERIODS<br />
The annual cycle of our Rental-Sales Program and Gift Gallery is divided into two exhibition seasons: Spring-Summer and Fall-Winter with a separate application process for each season.

You must apply for each exhibition period, even if your artwork has been juried into the gallery previously.<br />

Why I Make<br />
Blog Series<br />
American Craft Council</b><br />
Minneapolis, MN<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Why I Make," a blog series of the American Craft Council, feature dispatches exploring the human impulse to create.<br />
<br />
<i>Excerpts</i>:<br />
<br />
"Especially rewarding for me was the moment when I finished a piece - a crescendo I never knew in my day-to-day professional life. At the office, my world was nothing but to-do lists and complicated, open-ended projects; a sense of completion was rare indeed. But in jewelry class, it was crystal-clear when I had finished a project, and I reveled in that closure. Not only did wearing my silver pieces to work remind me, in the midst of a trying day, of my ability to accomplish something, but also the creative process was grounding - and so much cheaper than therapy!" - See more at: <a href="http://craftcouncil.org/post/why-i-make-ring-saved-me#sthash.DdgR1NVs.dpuf" target="_blank">http://craftcouncil.org/post/why-i-make-ring-saved-me#sthash.DdgR1NVs.dpuf</a> <br />
<br />
"...with my fine linen book cloth, handmade paper from Thailand (with gold flakes), hammers and mallets, mandrels and pixie dust. And I am making things. Making something every day. Making something of every day. Sometimes making things up. Just to see what else is out there." - See more at: <a href="http://craftcouncil.org/post/why-i-make-shape-life#sthash.QQnrSZpO.dpuf" target="_blank">http://craftcouncil.org/post/why-i-make-shape-life#sthash.QQnrSZpO.dpuf</a><br />

<i>Contributor Guidelines</i><br />
<br />
We try to encourage emerging and existing designers to be true to their own design ideas and styles. If you have original, fresh designs we can help you launch your business. We receive a tremendous amount of feedback from our contributors. After appearing in our publications, they suddenly find their whole year booked with workshops, work orders and sales of existing items. We are proud that we can help designers achieve this, and we want to expand this service to a whole range of textile-related enterprises.<br />
<br />
We are seeking contributions and technique articles in the areas of: dye processes; fabric manipulation; hand embellishing; machine embellishing; prints; graphic designs; knit; crochet; felt, as well as ideas and inspirational stories, plus coverage of Australian events (gallery exhibitions, displays, parades etc). The easiest way for a designer or author to "start the process" is to send an initial email outlining their proposal, and include their home landline number so that we can talk to them about their ideas, and also possibly source the materials required (although we usually only do this for past contributors that submit their articles before deadline, and respond in a timely manner to questions or technical issues with their work).<br />
<br />
The Contributor Guidelines are available for download. By submitting an article, garment or technique to us you are agreeing to the terms in the Guidelines.<br />

Selvedge is an independent, 100-page full colour magazine published six times a year. The magazine is image led and has an uncompromising design.<br />
<br />
Directed towards an international audience, Selvedge covers fine textiles in every context with illustrated features on fine art, fashion, interiors, ethnographic textiles, important collections, travel and shopping. The latest book reviews, exhibitions and comprehensive listings feature in every issue. The magazine provides a wide-ranging, unbiased and critical overview of the textile world.<br />

They include professional artists, textile students, collectors, fashion and interior designers, museum curators and gallery owners. Selvedge is also aimed at an audience beyond those with an established interest in textiles. Discerning consumers are amongst our readers. Intelligent and curious they use Selvedge to learn about the history, techniques, artists and designers that made the items that furnish their lives.<br />

The Abington Art Center Gallery Shop was founded in 1981 by a group of volunteers wishing to support local artists and the Center through the sales of hand-made craft and fine art. Today, that focus has been expanded to include eco-friendly and environmentally themed items that complement the Center’s sculpture park as well as exhibition-related and fair trade merchandise. Many of the Center’s faculty and accomplished artists from the community are featured. The Shop offers a unique selection that continues to be enjoyed by our visitors as a part of their cultural experience at the Center.<br />

<br />
Book Arts Residency<br />
J. Willard Marriott Library</b><br />
University of Utah <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In July 2012, the Book Arts Program at the J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah received an internal grant to initiate a Book Arts Residency.<br />
<br />
Often, book arts is associated with fine press or precious books. Through this residency program we are excited to push the boundaries of book arts and open it up to everything from fine press printing to simple books made from a single sheet of paper. At the culmination of the residency, each artist will contribute copies of work created to be housed in the University of Utah's Special Collections Department, and for exhibition purposes. Additionally, the residency program and resident artists will be featured in a juried show to be held in conjunction with the 2014 College Book Arts Association national conference.<br />
<br />
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis; however, this is a first come-first served selection process and spaces are limited so acceptance is not guaranteed. All skill levels are encouraged to apply; no printing or binding experience is required. Upon acceptance, artists will be granted one semester's access to the Book Arts Program studio during extended business hours, be allotted brief consultation periods with highly trained staff, and have access to all equipment as approved, based on experience. There is no housing stipend for this residency.<br />
<br />
For more information or to request an application, please contact the Book Arts Program Grants and Outreach Coordinator, Laura Decker at: laura.decker@utah.edu, or (801) 585-9191<br />

In collaboration with Nes Artist Residency’s summer program, Summer We Go Public, Textílsetur Íslands takes to the street with an inspiring, creative studio project.<br />
<br />
The Icelandic Textile Center aims to bring like-minded artists together to create an outside textile installation in Skagaströnd, Northern Iceland, for June and July 2013. <br />
<br />
SUMMER WE GO PUBLIC – TEXTILE<br />
<br />
a collaboration with NES Artist Residency<br />
<br />
We are interested with any kind of street art, performance, or yarn bombing who will use fiber as first medium.<br />
<br />
We are now accepting solo and collective project proposals to attend the residency for June and July. The emphasis for both months is the idea that all resident artists will work together on a collaborative installation to be included into the public art program in Skagaströnd at the end of July.<br />
<br />
<br />
You will stay at the Textílsetur Íslands Residency in Blönduós with the access of all Textile facilities for spinning, crocheting, felting, dying, knitting or mixed textile techniques as a part of the residency. Chosen artists from every cultures will need to manage together a textile installation. Skagaströnd is a 20 minute bus ride, so connection to the site for developing the installation will be easy and you’ll have the chance to exchange with others residents of Nes who will also transform the aesthetic of this small rural village.<br />
<br />
The 24 hours-daylight is going to create a particular atmosphere as for the sheep, free in the mountains, are a part of the Icelandic summer landscapes.<br />
<br />
Specially for this project, collective can share a two-beds rooms for 750€. Of course, others residents are welcome to invite their partner.<br />

<i>About Mulvane Art Museum </i><br />
<br />
At the Mulvane Art Museum, we believe that art matters. And more than that, we believe that art can change people's lives. It can change your life.<br />
<br />
Here, you do more than gaze at art on the wall. You explore the story behind a piece. You move through and marvel at larger-than-life installations. You connect with others. You can create art of your very own.<br />
<br />
The Mulvane is for everyone - art lovers, kids, adults, teens, students, families. Art means different things to different people, but art always means something.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Exhibition Proposals</i><br />

<br />
All proposals are reviewed by an exhibition committee. It takes several months for the committee to meet, review the materials and make a recommendation. Exhibitions are scheduled at least one year or more in advance. <br />

Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center</b><br />

SEASON 10 - 2013/2014<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>EXHIBIT PROPOSALS</b><br />
Solo, Two-person, Group and Concept Submissions</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Manifest is eager to receive proposals of various types. And accepts these on an ongoing basis, reviewing them starting in early June in consideration for the upcoming season. <br />
<br />
Eligibility: Anyone can submit a proposal. Artists should bear in mind the need for a consistent and very strong body of work when submitting.<br />
<br />
Media/Genre: Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. Manifest sets out to survey, locate, exhibit, and document excellent quality amongst all types of art. Our record of showing a broad mix speaks for itself. If it's good, we want to see it, and if possible show it.<br />
<br />
Jury and Curator: Manifest's main selection process involves a complex two-part system. Most exhibits are juried by an anonymous 9-12 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise. The jury then passes along their recommendations to the exhibit curator who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool. Solo proposals are handled in a similar but smaller scale way. While artists may provide a specific goal for an exhibit, the final selection and layout of works will be determined by a Manifest curator in consultation with the artist.<br />
<br />
Types of proposals:<br />
<br />
- Solo exhibits<br />
<br />
- Two person exhibits<br />
<br />
- Group shows<br />
<br />
- Curatorial project (call for entries proposal by curator)<br />
<br />
<br />
Submission Fee: Each proposal must be accompanied by a $30 non-refundable submission fee. Number of works is not limited. <br />

<br />
Art-in-Ed Artist’s Book Residency Grant<br />
Women’s Studio Workshop</b><br />
Rosendale, NY 12472 <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each year WSW awards two grants for emerging artists to create a new artist’s book and teach young people through our studio-based Art-in-Education (AIE) program, Hands-on-Art. Generally AIE/Book Arts residents teach 1-2 days per week for 3-4 weeks in the studios, and also visit the students in their home school in shorter sessions before and after the series held at WSW. <br />
<br />
For these residencies, WSW is especially interested in artists who come from different regions of the country and/or diverse cultural backgrounds. Each award includes a $400 per week stipend for up to ten weeks, and a $750 materials budget, housing, travel costs up to $250 within the Continental US, and unlimited studio access.<br />
<br />
Generally, the first month of the residency is devoted to the production of a limited edition artist’s book. WSW staff will provide training when necessary, technical advice, and assistance with editioning. During the second half of the residency, the artist works with young people in the WSW studios. Studio space and equipment is reserved for AIE students during program hours. Artists may continue to work on their residency projects after students’ studio hours.<br />
<br />
The residencies take place in October-December with high school students, and February-May with elementary school students. This grant is a two-step juried process. Artists interested in this opportunity submit materials to WSW, then WSW applies to other funders.<br />
