Available for presentation at schools, libraries, and public events
The next presentation of the art work done by participating guilds of the Fiber Arts Council will be in March 2023 at the Sunport. The following release form must be filled out to have your work included in the display.
Future deliveries for displays and exhibits: Each guild or guild rep should provide entries in a sturdy box, preferably with a lid. The box should be clearly labeled with guild name. Individual items should be packed inside the guild box in separate wrappings or packing. This way, the owners’ wrapping and packing material stay with the box and can be returned. Also, any props not used can be stored in the guild box until the display is disassembled and items packed for return. Large soft items such as quilts and rugs should be in sturdy bags (again fully labeled by guild); individual items can be in separate bags or cases inside the guild box or bag. All props such as dowels, stands, etc., should be clearly labeled w/ owner’s name as they may be separated from the art object. Every item absolutely must have the owner’s name and contact information; each item should have the guild name attached as well. Customized containers for odd shapes must be sturdy; able to opened and re-closed without the need to ‘rebuild’ or ‘retape’ the box to re-pack item for return. Absolutely do not bring items to the display venue without clearance from the display coordinator who will need item descriptions, owner, etc. information in advance! You must use the Release form as well, please.
