exploring the voices of craft makers 35 & younger
This exhibition will reveal the distinctive voice of our current handmade culture by featuring craft artists of generation Y (born between 1976 – 2000).
Questions for reflecting on the theme:
• Why did you start making craft?
• What is the inspiration or origin of your work?
• Are you making a statement? (Feminism, environmentalism, anti-capitalism, etc.)
• What are the future goals of your craft?
This call is open to all current and former Alberta artists ages 35 and younger working in fine craft mediums. Fine craft mediums include clay, fibre, metal, glass, wood, stone & found objects.
** All pieces must be original in design – no kits or patterns **
Your submission should include:
• a brief statement answering some of the above questions
• artist bio, contact information & year of birth
• up to 10 good quality images (digital – 4”x6” 300dpi) of work to be in the exhibition
• an image list that includes title, medium, technique, year made, size & photo credit
