Threads That Bind, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition’s national juried show BWAC (Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition) calls for submissions from artists working in traditional and/or contemporary approaches to fiber. Submissions have to use fiber materials and/or processes (knitting, weaving, spinning, embroidery, rug-making, crochet, beading, braiding, needlepoint, dyeing, cross-stitch, sewing) as a primary component of the work. The final form of submitted artwork may be a photograph, sculpture, wearable or decorative art or fashion, performance or video, as well as an embroidered, crocheted, woven, dyed or knitted wall-hung or free-standing piece. We welcome large-scale work up to 96" in any direction.
In addition to images of up to 3 artworks, please write 1-3 sentences answering one of the above 3 questions.
