Spaces Between: SDA's Juried Exhibition

Spaces Between is the Surface Design Association's 2025 Juried Exhibition, open to all SDA and Florida CraftArt members. The exhibition will be on view from March 28–May 17, 2025 at Florida CraftArt, 501 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg, FL 33701. The exhibition is juried by Akiko Kotani and includes awards: First Place $400, Second Place $200, Third Place $100, and SDA Award of Excellence (one-year SDA membership).

The exhibition theme, "Spaces Between," invites artists to reflect creatively on in-between spaces and what it means to navigate through and reside within them. The exhibition highlights work made with a fibers sensibility, including traditional and cross-disciplinary materials, techniques, and practices, as well as experimental processes and material innovation. Selected works will demonstrate unique, well-developed artistic vision and innovation.

Artists may submit up to two original artworks (2D, 3D, video, or audio) completed after January 1, 2022. Work must be available for sale. Entry fees are $45 for SDA/Florida CraftArt members and $25 for student members. The entry deadline is January 10, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time. Accepted artists will be notified February 10, 2025, and selected artwork must arrive at the venue between March 20–25, 2025. A virtual Textile Talk program is scheduled for April 30, 2025. Florida CraftArt provides full insurance coverage while work is in the gallery's care and in transit. Artists receive 55% of sales proceeds after sales tax and transaction fees; Florida CraftArt retains 45%.
