Calling all textile and fiber artists – This show is for you!

Textile artworks use plant, animal, or man-made fibers to make practical or decorative objects, or a combination of both. Materials such as cotton, wool, silk, acrylic, nylon, rayon, and polyester are utilized through weaving, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, quilting, and felting to create not only gorgeous works of art but practical every-day items as well.

Community shows are open to ALL island artists, beginning and experienced alike. The purpose is to showcase island art and celebrate our creative neighbors! To exhibit in a community show, an artist needs to come on the Installation Day (for this show, February 12th) with their artwork ready to be displayed or hung.

On Installation Day, the artist will fill out two labels including title, artist name, the medium, and the price, (or denoted NFS). One label will be attached to the artwork, the second will be given to the committee. The artist will also fill out an Artist Agreement and Sales Information Sheet if she or he does not already have one on file. All placement and hanging of the art will be done by the VAC.

Artists are urged to attend and contribute hors d’oeuvres for the Artist Reception on Friday, February 14th.
