CALL FOR ENTRIES:
THROUGH OUR EYES, QUILTS AND FIBER ART FROM THE LGBT COMMUNITY
In the spring of 2005 Milwaukee became one of the few American cities
to have a Gay Arts Center. This cultural center and gallery hosts
classes, plays, musicals and art exhibits showing the diversity of
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) artists.
More than 15% of U.S. households participate in quilting. While many
think of quilting as a hobby for mostly (straight) women, America is
filled with gay and lesbian quilters, fiber artists and surface
designers. This exhibit will be on view in Milwaukee April-June of
2006. The arts center will also host quilting events during the weekend
following the opening April 21.
All work must be made by artists who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual
or transgender (LGBT). Collaborative pieces where at least one member
identifies as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender will also be
accepted.
All work must be classified as a quilt containing three layers, or as
fiber art containing some form of thread, beads, yarn, fabric, paper or
other protein based fibers.
Art should be a personal expression of the fiber or quilt artist.
Depicting LGBT issues is an option, but not required. Art quilts,
traditional quilts, weavings, surface design and mixed media are all
acceptable forms to express your view.
Pizzazz Studios is curating this exhibit. Questions can be directed to
