ATA - American Tapestry Alliance
International, online exhibition. No shipping fees, no customs hassles. You may submit tapestries that you no longer own. Full color catalog, two monetary awards, and a travel sized Mirrix Loom to the People's Choice Award winner. Tapestries of any size are eligible. Weavings that follow more traditional definitions of tapestry, as well as more experimental tapestry weavings, may be submitted.
Juror
Professor Włodzimierz Cygan is a Polish textile artist renowned throughout the world for his technically innovative tapestries. Cygan trained in Gobelin weaving in the 1970s, graduating with a Masters in Art, but has long preferred to create his tapestries using a frame that gives him the freedom to warp radially. His honors include the Grand Prix at the 12th International Triennale of Tapestry in Lodz, Poland and a bronze medal at the 6th International Fiber Art Biennale in Zhengzhou City, China . Cygan is a Professor of Textiles in the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz.
Eligibility
Entry to World Tapestry Now is open to all artists who design and weave their own tapestries either individually or collaboratively (all assistants shall be named). Artists who work in both traditional and more experimental methods are encouraged to enter. Multimedia and conceptual work will be considered as long as the primary focus of the work is tapestry. Entries must be one-of-a-kind and have been completed after January 2014. Entries may not have been shown previously in any ATA exhibition. Artists may submit up to three pieces, but a maximum of one piece per artist will be accepted.
