About the Open Call

The exhibition is open to all fiber/textile media, methods, or processes, including text- and sound-based works, alternative signs and symbols, and processes documenting history. Entries are juried by Diana Weymar and include cash awards. Students are eligible for a $15 discount with code STUDENT.
