It’s that time of year! The Textile Center has put out a Call for Entry for their annual Holiday Gallery. It’s a great place to show off your work as a fiber artist and gain exposure to an urban market that includes a wealth of fiber and textile enthusiasts. The Holiday Gallery is open from November 1-December 28, 2013.

The call for entry process has changed dramatically. No longer are artists required to bring samples of their offerings to the Textile Center for an in person selection process. The call for entry form is on their website and has an upload section for images. http://www.textilecentermn.org/call-for-entry-holiday-shop/. Fiber and textile artists from anywhere are welcome to apply!
The images do not have size requirements but will be re-sized when they are uploaded. That is GREAT for people who are not photographers—you don’t have to spend time getting the image just right—just upload it! And, something else that’s new this year is that artists are not required to be a member of the Textile Center. There is a jury fee that’s payable through PayPal. Remember that each artist is responsible for getting their artwork to the Textile Center.
You can submit three different types of product categories. i.e. cards, scarves, felted critters. All submissions must be complete by August 15, 2013 by 7 p.m. You will be notified you by Friday August 30, 2013.
The Textile Center has carried the Fiber Art Almanac for the past three years now. I am grateful they had the vision to see what it can become! If you are selected you will be to use this nifty button on social media and your website/blog.
See you there!
