Call for Entries Craft Forms 2010, 16th National Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Craft, December 3, 2010 – January 22, 2011. Entry Deadline is SEPTEMBER 16, 2010, and fee is $40. Download the prospectus from http://www.craftforms.com/ or http://www.juriedartservices.com/index.php?content=event_info&event_id=314 Turning 25 – A Celebration will be an exhibition of chapter created pieces for the 25 year AAW anniversary in 2011 at the St. Paul symposium. The exhibit goal is to have every AAW chapter represented and for each chapter to enter a lathe turned work that exemplifies and represents that chapter. A bit more information is at http://www.woodturner.org/sym/sym2011/Exhibit/. While you are lounging on the beach this summer, be thinking of what a joint project fitting within an 8" cube, turned by several or many of our members, would look like. Carvers and other woodworkers will be interested in The Art of Gaman, an exhibit or arts and crafts from the Japanese American Interment Camps, 1942-1946, at the Renwick Gallery through January 30, 2011. Gaman is a Japanese word that means "to bear the seemingly unbearable with dignity and patience". While some of the work falls into a folk art category, there is an amazing display of art and craft talent in these pieces, including a sculpture by Isamu Noguchi which you have never seen before. In 2010, Sugarloaf Craft Festivals will host two more shows at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Gaithersburg, October 8-10 and November 19-21. Artists interested in exhibiting can download applications from http://www.sugarloafcrafts.com There are several miniature art exhibits around the country each year which include small sculpture. If you are creating small pieces of exhibition quality, usually under 5" in all dimensions, consider entering competitions for miniature exhibits. For example, see the prospectus from the Seaside Art Gallery at Nags Head, NC, http://seasideart.com/EventDetails.aspx?id=26 |

| The Teapot exhibit at the AAW Symposium in Hartford, CT, was the fourth
in a series of themed exhibits by the AAW Professional Outreach
Program. This year invited artists were challenged to make teapots.
The results are often witty, sometimes a bit wistful and consistently
surprising. A color catalog in PDF format is available by clicking
VIEW CATALOG EXHIBIT at http://www.galleryofwoodart.org/teapotspoons.html.
On the last day of the Symposium, Sunday, these teapots were auctioned
to raise money for the POP. The Lip Service piece by Dixie Biggs,
shown on page 5, garnered a lot of interest and sold for $9,000. GUIDES FOR EXHIBITING TURNERS The Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) has published a series of Professional Guidelines that should have a lot of value for exhibiting woodturners. The Guidelines are a series of checklists, procedures, information sources, and forms that can be used by artists. Although SNAG authored them, they are not specific to jewelry. The Guidelines committee appears to have representatives from a variety of perspectives including artists, gallery owners, lawyers, curators, and production people. All the 19 items are available in PDF format, and some also in Word. Look over the list at: http://www.snagmetalsmith.org/Publications/Professional_Guidelines/ |
