The Artist as Quiltmaker XIX

The Artist as Quiltmaker XIX is an exhibition open to artists living in the U.S. or Canada. Artists may submit up to three entries for a $40.00 entry fee. Innovative two- and three-dimensional quilts are eligible. Work must be completed in 2018 or 2019. Collaborative works are eligible; artists submitting both collaborative and individual works must apply separately. Artwork must be an original design/concept and not created in a class or workshop, though student work is acceptable if created outside the classroom and without an instructor's guidance. Maximum height or width is 108".

Jurying will be from digital images only. Two-dimensional entries should have two images: one overall image and one detail, clearly labeled. Three-dimensional entries should have three images: one overall image, one detail, and one additional full-image view. Images must be JPEG or JPG format, 1200 pixels or greater on the longest side, and under 5 MB. The full image should be on a neutral background with all outside edges of the work visible and accurate color representation. Image names should include initials only, not full name (example: JD_Seeds.jpg for an entry by Jane Doe called Seeds of Hope). Work differing significantly from that represented in the digital image will be disqualified and returned to the artist.

Artists will be notified of jury results by email or phone by January 15, 2020. Accepted work must arrive at FAVA between April 21 and April 24, 2020 (delivery address: FAVA, 39 S. Main St., Oberlin, Ohio 44074, 440.774.7158). Round-trip transit insurance and shipping costs are the responsibility of the artist. A prepaid FedEx or UPS shipping label or account number is required for return shipping. FAVA will insure work for 70 percent of its fair market value while under its care. A full-color exhibition catalog will be published, and exhibitors will receive a complimentary copy. FAVA will retain a 30 percent commission on all sales, with payment sent to artists by September 30, 2020. The exhibition opens May 16, 2020, and closes July 26, 2020 at 5:00 pm. Unsold artwork will be returned by August 15, 2020.
