Call for Quilt Artists

The City of Santa Fe Community Gallery announces a call for artists in New Mexico who create fine art quilts. The Community Gallery, in conjunction with New Mexico Art Quilters, is planning an exhibit for the winter of 2010/2011 that features fine art quilts. The exhibit is tentatively scheduled to run from November 2010 through March 2011. Over 30 artists will be selected to offer the fullest range of artistic expression techniques by New Mexico fiber artists. In conjunction with the exhibit, numerous community events will educate visitors on quilting history, techniques, and the use of this traditional art form as a contemporary fine art medium.

Any interested artists should submit an artist portfolio of their work to Rod Lambert, the Community Gallery Manager for consideration in this exhibit by August 30, 2010. Portfolios should consist of 5-10 printed images of the artist’s work (on standard digital print paper) and an artist statement, resume and / or bio. Portfolios should be addressed to Community Gallery, PO Box 909, Santa Fe, NM 87504-0909. Please specify that you would like to be considered for the Timeless New Mexico exhibit.
