Notice: Date Changes have been made.
The Dayton Society of Artists (DSA) is pleased to present INTERTWINED, a national call for fiber arts. All artists, 18 years or older and residing in the US are eligible to submit work. All art submitted must be related to fiber arts (materials consisting of natural or synthetic fiber or other components such as fabric, yarn, etc). Each piece must utilize fiber materials as one of the integral components of the work. Traditional and non-traditional approaches are welcome, and the medium may be interpreted broadly. Heather Jones will be this year’s juror and $1000 will be awarded in prizes.

Update: The DSA has pushed back INTERTWINED one week in an effort to respond to the current corona virus public health issue to allow for later drop-off dates. Depending on the situation at the time, we may require appointments for artists to deliver work in an effort to promote social distancing. If the health crisis continues, we plan to hold an online exhibition of artists' work and will re-schedule for 2021 to hold the physical exhibition. We currently hope to hold the physical exhibition from May 1-May 23, 2020 in our galleries.

Submit by March 22, 2020

ABOUT
The DSA is a non-profit, member-based organization. It was founded in 1938 and acquired a Victorian house in the 1960s, which was converted into a gallery. The DSA’s mission is to “connect, support, and educate artists and the community.” The DSA hosts various workshops and events throughout the year to fulfill its mission as well as hosts a variety of exhibitions. For more information, visit daytondsa.org.

JUROR
Heather Jones is an artist, designer, and educator whose work questions and pushes traditional conceptions of both quilt making and painting. Her work is represented by Imlay Gallery, Montclair, NJ; the George Gallery, Charleston, SC; Moremen Gallery, Louisville, KY; and Jenner McGuinn Studio, Atlanta, GA. She is a three-time winner of the Project Modern Quilt Design competition and a two-time finalist for the Martha Stewart American Made Awards. Her work has been exhibited widely at venues including the Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati, OH (solo); Marta Hewett Gallery, Cincinnati, OH; Iowa Quilt Museum, Winterset, IA; New England Quilt Museum, Lowell, MA; the University of California, Berkley, CA; dr. julius | ap, Berlin, Germany; M17 Contemporary, Kiev, Ukraine; and Five Walls, Melbourne, Australia. Heather’s first book, Quilt Local: Finding Inspiration in the Everyday was released in October 2015 by STC Craft, an imprint of Abrams, New York.

A native Cincinnatian, Heather studied art history at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning, earning both a Bachelors of Arts and Master of Arts (ABT). She currently lives just outside the city on a small farm with her husband and two children.
