EXHIBITION:
The Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild is pleased to present Color: Classic to Contemporary, an exploration of the fearless use of color in fiber arts. Founded in 1955, the Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild has a rich history of supporting and promoting excellence in textiles and fiber arts. The guild’s Biennial of Textiles exhibit is the longest, continuous running juried show in the Southeast. The 2019 exhibition, open to artists working in all fiber media, will be held at the Hudgens Center For Art & Learning in Duluth, Georgia, from May 4, 2019 - July 27, 2019. There will be an opening reception on May 11, 2019, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. The exhibition includes monetary awards. Entries may be submitted online November 1, 2018 – February 1, 2019.
GOAL:
Color: Classic to Contemporary will allow artists to explore the many ways that color influences life and the world around them. Color influences how we feel but it can also impart a sense of time, place, and culture. Smoky grays and blacks may make the viewer think of the industrial age; rich purples and golds could imply royalty; use of color could impart a sense of serenity, a sense of fantasy or something more unsettling. Do the colors in your work suggest: playfulness, seriousness, richness, scarcity, drama, a sense of solitude, a sense of risk, or a sense of safety? The artist is free to explore any use of color that represents something important to them. Accepted works will be created with care, attention to detail and with consideration for the intended use of the piece. Artists working in all fiber arts media are encouraged to apply. Works should be completed on or after November 1, 2016.
