Enchanted: Yardage
HGA’s Convergence 2010 Albuquerque Yardage Exhibit
Exhibit: July 21 - 25, 2010, Albuquerque Convention Center, Albuquerque, New
Mexico
An international juried
exhibit featuring lengths of constructed and/or embellished yardage.
New Mexico is known as a “Land of Enchantment” — a place where the colors of the earth and the sky, the contrast between the light of day and the dark of night, the beauty of the mesas and the mountain ranges provide opportunities to see and inspiration to create.
Because of the unique scenic beauty and the rich cultural history of the state, New Mexicans often describe the phenomenon with a knowing smile and a shrug because they know the land is enchanted.
Juror: Stacey Harvey-Brown
Stacey Harvey-Brown weaves, writes, teaches, lectures and gives workshops and seminars around the UK and abroad. She is passionate about weaving and loves the challenge to capture the essence and texture of nature through woven cloth.
Exhibit Coordinator: Cat Brysch , Las Arañas Spinners and Weavers Guild, Albuquerque, New Mexico

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, and
overall suitability of the technique and/or materials.
Creative exploration is encouraged.
Accepted work is subject to
final approval by the juror's representative after the actual work arrives at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Work that differs significantly from the slide or digital
image representing it will be ineligible for the exhibition and returned
to the artist. Submission to Enchanted implies that the artwork represented on
the slides or digital images 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. |
| Eligibility |
This exhibit is open to all artists
working with constructed and/or embellished yardage.
Three pieces may be entered per artist.
Pieces must be originally conceived and created by the entrant: work
should be one-of-a-kind, of exhibition quality, not previously exhibited
at a Convergence, and completed within the past two years (since
January 2008) and not previously
published.
The size of the finished work must
be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 centimeters) in width
and 3 yards (2.7 meters) in length and may not exceed 60 inches (1.5 meters)
in width, 10 yards (9.1 meters) in length and 40 pounds (18.1 Kg) in weight.
For each entry, send an 8 inch x 8
inch (20.3 cm square) swatch with edges finished neatly and ready for
display. An identification tag needs to be attached to the back of the
swatch. Entries submitted without a swatch will not be considered.
Work executed under classroom/educational
guidance or supervision is not eligible. |
