SERENDIPITY
Manitoba Fibre Festival Art Show
Entry now open!

~The occurrence and development of events
by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

Have you experienced the phenomenon of finding something valuable that was not sought for?
A fortunate discovery that happens by accident?
A series of events which are not individually favourable, but occurring together, produce a wonderful outcome?
If so, then you have had an encounter with serendipity! Not quite a coincidence and a little different than luck, these happy accidents can stir up all kinds of emotions, memories and opportunities - the perfect inspiration for creating art.

Eligibility:
This Art Show is open to all Manitobans, all members of TFAM and all exhibitors/vendors of the Manitoba Fibre Festival 2022.

Criteria:

Height - minimum 12” - maximum 60"
Width - minimum 12” - maximum 40"
Thickness: no restrictions
Content/Material must be primarily fibre.
3D artwork encouraged, but must be able to fit within the plinth top which is 12" square.
For hanging artwork, each artist is responsible for their own hanging device. The hooks have a very narrow slot, so we recommend cord or wire attached. The pieces must be ready to hang at drop-off time.
If in any other format, the artist needs to provide a display method (i.e. floor standing mannequin)

Entry Fee:

$20.00 artist fee per entry. You will receive an invoice from TFAM upon completion of the 'Intent to Enter' form.
Maximum of 2 entries per artist.
$100 minimum sale price if for sale. NFS always an option

Labels and Packaging:

Ensure all artwork and packaging are clearly labelled with the artist name and artwork title.
Each piece should be in a collapsible storage container or storage bag large enough to accommodate the art; labelled as above. These will be stored at the MB Fibre Festival during the duration of the show and used to return the art work.
Artwork cards will be created to display beside each fibre art piece, so a 50-word maximum Artist Statement is required on the Entry form.
