Call Description
Entangled is the first ever exhibition of contemporary fiber arts to be held at East End Arts Council gallery in Riverhead, Long Island, with an open call to artists nationwide. Artists whose practice creatively engages traditional or unconventional approaches are encouraged to submit proposals for a juried selection.

Works may be free-standing, suspended, or wall supported for exhibition in our Arts District storefront gallery space, featuring ceilings just shy of 10’. Entangled hopes for a multi-idiom, boundary-pushing fiber art exhibition of abstract, figurative, and conceptual works that cross into a multitude of references. This show will pull visitors into a fierce tangle of connections that unravel the imagination!

Artists may enter up to three original works new to the local public for selection.

Juried by fiber artist Sherry Davis and curator Tom Cugliani.

This national open call welcomes work of all fiber art techniques using traditional or non-traditional materials, including installations, sculptures, and wall pieces. Works can be figurative, abstract, and/or conceptual. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly.

Artists can enter up to three [3] submissions of work. Works must be the artist's original design and concept, fit within the theme, and not previously shown at East End Arts Council or the local area. Please view the terms for details including size restrictions.
