Fantastic Fibers 2020

Yeiser Art Center is accepting entries for the Fantastic Fibers 2020 international juried exhibition. This exhibition showcases contemporary works related to the fiber medium. Contemporary and innovative works created with fiber as the primary medium or concept are welcome. The exhibition is open to all artists 18 years and over working in the field of fiber art. All work submitted must be original, completed in the last three years, and not previously exhibited in a Fantastic Fibers exhibition. There are no size restrictions.

Up to five entries per artist are permitted with an entry fee of $25 per piece. Each submission should consist of 1 single artwork represented by 1 to 3 images. All selected artworks will be featured in a full color catalog produced by Yeiser Art Center for sale during the exhibition. The exhibition will be on display at Yeiser Art Center from April 10 to May 30, 2020.

Awards totaling $1,900 will be awarded: $1,000 Best of Show, $500 First Place, $250 Second Place, and $150 Third Place. Sales will be encouraged where works are offered for purchase, but work need not be for sale to enter. Yeiser Art Center will keep a 40% commission on all gallery sales. Work will be insured for the duration of the exhibition for the value of the work, or 60% of the retail price. Artists are responsible for insuring their work during transit. The deadline to apply is February 16, 2020. Notification of acceptance is March 1, 2020. Work is due at Yeiser Art Center by April 4, 2020, by 5pm.
