Last night I received in the mail a Call for Entry application for Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry's Black Creativity 2007 juried exhibition. This event is in its 34th year! Categories for entries include ceramics, folk art, painting, drawing, photography, print, video, sculpture, and.... of course,.... textiles. Click to view the 2006 exhibit winners, including Robert Lewis Clark (photo).
Unfortunately, you'll need to act fast! The entries are due November 6. Call the museum at 773-947-4161 for an entry form. I've had a quilt to be included in a past exhibit. It really is a marvelous opportunity, and the museum does an excellent job of hanging and promoting the show - which attracts artists from across the country!
Update! Carole Lyles Shaw has received a 2007 Honorable Mention award for her mixed media collages titled "Memories and Dreams: Fragments"! Congratulations Carole!
