The Huntington Arts Council invites artists to participate in Uncommon Threads; an exhibition with a focus on Fiber Arts in all its forms. Entries should include either fiber-based materials OR unconventional materials used in typical fiber art technique (crochet, weaving, sewing, felting, embroidery, etc). Items should be either modified or created from scratch.
About the Juror, Patty Eljaiek: As a mixed media artist Patty exhibits nationwide, in galleries from New York to California. Her work reflects her experience as a first-generation American immigrant focusing on themes of belonging and identity. She continues to explore traditional fiber arts to create new and evolving work incorporating repurposed materials. Patty is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts with a BFA in Illustration. To view some of her work, please visit: pattyeljaiek.com
Framed pieces must be no longer than 48” in either direction, including the frame. Sculptural pieces should not exceed 72 inches in any direction. Video work should not exceed 50MB in file size.
Please include the title, the dimensions (or time), the medium, and the price of each work. If no price is provided we will assume it is Not For Sale.
HAC will hang the show, handle all the PR. We will highlight our artists work through a virtual exhibition and social media channels throughout the run of the show. Those not wishing to participate in the physical exhibition will still be highlighted online with their selected piece.
* HAC can only accommodate digital submission at this time
