Fibre Arts Expo
Produced by the Queensland Spinners Weavers and Fibre Artists (QSWFA), is a juried exhibit featuring contemporary works created in any material using any fibre technique.
| Exhibit | Friday 10 June to Sunday 12 June 2022 at the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens Auditorium, Brisbane. The opening night party is at 6:30 pm on Friday 10 June. The exhibition is open to all QSWFA members to exhibit their work. | |
| Jurying | QSWFA seeks to feature work that is not only of the highest calibre in craftsmanship and technical ability, but which also speaks to the intricacy of expression, intimacy of design, thoughtful communication, and visual excitement. Entries will be evaluated on concept, design, technique, craftsmanship, and creative exploration. All items displayed will be at the discretion of the curatorial team. We reserve the right to make the final decision as to whether the display meets appropriate requirements. If the work is unable to be displayed in the exhibition and if you have indicated on the entry form, the work will be transferred to the gallery shop. Otherwise, it will not be put on display. The artist understands that all accepted work must remain for the duration of the exhibit. | |
| Jurors | The jury committee consists of a representative from each of the skill areas of the group. Any decisions will be between the field specialist and the curators. Any work not accepted for the exhibition will receive personal feedback from the field specialist and the curators. | |
| Presentation of work | All entries must be brought ready to show and exhibit. All work must be ready to install. If work requires specific hanging devices or armatures, these must be included with clear installation instructions. All items requiring hanging must have attached eyelets, hooks, rod pockets etc. If specialised display stands are required, the exhibitor must provide them. Each item must be clearly marked with the exhibitor’s name, item number, title of work, selling price including commission or marked NFS. All work should be labelled with fibre content and care instructions. Soiled or damaged work will not be accepted. | |
| Shipping | Work should be packed very well and shipped in a substantial reusable container. Artists must pay shipping and insurance costs to and from our premises. Work must arrive at 12 Payne St Auchenflower at least one week prior to the exhibition. | |
