HGA's Convergence 2010 Albuquerque Wearable Art Fashion Show and Exhibit
Runway Fashion Show: July 21, 2010
Exhibit: July 22 - 25, 2010, Albuquerque Convention Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico
With Beauty, may I walk.
With Beauty before me, may I walk.
With Beauty behind me may I walk.
With Beauty above me, may I walk.
With Beauty all around me, may I walk.
This traditional Navajo prayer accompanies a weaver’s work. Encompassing beauty, balance, order, and harmony is the essence of Navajo philosophy in weaving and in life. Let the rich colors and textures inspire you to create beautiful wearable art.

| Jurying |
The juror will independently
screen all images and make the preliminary selection of all work in
the exhibition.
Pieces will be evaluated on concept,
design, technique, understanding the body and body movement, runway
presence and overall suitability of the technique and/or materials.
Creative exploration is encouraged.
Accepted work
is subject to final approval
by the Fashion Show Coordinator after the actual work arrives. Work
that differs significantly from the slide/digital image representing
it may be ineligible for the exhibition and may be returned to the artist.
Submission to Walk in Beauty implies that the artwork
on the slides or CD will
be, if chosen by the juror, available for the
exhibition and that the artist understands that all accepted work, without
exception, must remain for the duration
of the exhibition. |
