The Speed of Fashion: Call for Programming Proposals
  • The Speed of Fashion: Call for Programming Proposals

    We are seeking programming proposals for DMV Area Artists. This free form is for programming related to our show "The Speed of Fashion" only. This is not a form to submit artworks.
  • We are open to other proposals, but are especially interested in artists who will be able to facilitate the following:

    • visible mending workshops
    • upcycling/creative reuse workshops
    • zine making
    • performances (poetry reading and performance art preferred)

    The programming budget will come from the call for art fees. We are tentatively offering up to $200 including budgeting and honorarium. Additionally, as this show will be primarily open throughout the month of June, any programming proposal that is able to incorporate LGBTQ+ Pride as a programming theme will be prioritized.

  • Are you writing on behalf of a collective or team?*
  • Are you also submitting artwork to the gallery show? (Please keep in mind that is a separate application)*
  • How Would you describe your programming proposal?
  • Which Day (between 1-5PM) would best suit the facilitation of this program?*
  • Which space at the Crow's Nest would be best suited for your programming proposal?
  • Open through the month of June, our second group show of the year will be entitled The Speed of Fashion. Fast fashion dominates our landscape & landfills. Slow Fashion is often stereotyped as boring, shapeless, and prohibitively expensive. This exhibit seeks to explore the problems with what we wear now, and asks how we should wear our clothes in a not only sustainable, but restorative future. The Speed of Fashion is a national call looking for artwork exploring fashion and fibers in an environmental and climate justice context, with an emphasis on solutions-centered work.

  • Would you like us to require masks at your event?
