Beyond: Tapestry Expanded seeks work from artists that explore the expansive properties of tapestry. Using the definition of tapestry as a weft-faced woven structure, artists are invited to submit work that explores and pushes this definition. Artists who are combining both hand and digital processes, using non-traditional materials, creating three-dimensional forms, or are incorporating multi-media components, including sound, video, performance are highly encouraged to submit work.
Beyond: Tapestry Expanded will be exhibited at the Peeler Art Center at DePauw University from August through December of 2024. The Peeler Art Center offers over 7,000 square feet of gallery space and is a part of DePauw University. Featuring curated and solo exhibitions, the Peeler Art Center provides extensive programming to support the college community of students, faculty, and staff as well as the town of Greencastle, and the surrounding region. Located within an hour of Lafayette, Indianapolis, Bloomington, and Terre Haute, Greencastle offers small town charm and hospitality. Visitors can take advantage of amenities that include local dining that feature locally sourced and produced menu items, a nearby nature park consisting of 520 acres, and multiple festivals throughout the year including the renown Covered Bridges Festival.
Jurors for the exhibition are Jade Yumang, Associate Professor of Fiber & Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Alexa Griffith Winton, co-curator of the upcoming Dorothy Liebes exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt.
Artists selected by the jurors will be exhibiting alongside a curated selection of artists by Erica Warren, former curator with the Art Institute of Chicago. Awards will be given at the discretion of the jurors for artists demonstrating expansive conceptual and technical approaches in tapestry. The exhibition is organized by the American Tapestry Alliance. A catalog will accompany the exhibition.
Entries open in CaFE on September 1, 2023, and close October 15, 2023.
