Art to Wear 2007

Members of the Quilters’ Guild of NSW Inc are invited to submit work for the selection of Art to Wear 2007, as part of the Sydney Quilt Show. The ‘Art to Wear’ is an exhibition of garments displaying superb technical skill and artistic merit, open to all members of the Guild. The concept of this exhibition is to promote both contemporary and functional Wearable Art; yet, allowing the artist to explore every available surface design and textile medium to showcase the artist's personal signature.

The entry is similar to other juried exhibitions, with selection dependent on the garment photo and the accompanying brief forming the submission. Space will be allocated for outstanding secondary or tertiary students. Those seeking selection should submit all of the following to the Art to Wear Coordinator by 6 April 2007:

• Completed Entry Form
• Photograph of proposed garment (created within the last 12 months) for display - front, back and a detail.
• Supporting documentation, including explanation of the techniques used.
• Artist’s Statement, max.100 words for catalogue insertion

Submission for entry can be made by e-mail, CD or hard copy. Please see the entry form for further information and conditions of entry.
