2017 Tapestry Show
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28th!! GET THOSE ENTRIES IN!!
The BVAA, in conjunction with Alternatives organization, is celebrating the 17th year of the Tapestry Art show! Tapestry refers to the weaving of all members of our community together. The art itself can be any format – watercolor, sculpture, acrylic painting, photography, oil painting, fabric arts, and so on. It can be on any theme.
Alternatives Community Gallery
5 South Main Street
Uxbridge, MA
The show is a centerpiece of the annual Uxbridge First Night celebration. In 2017 that takes place on Saturday, December 2nd.
Submissions
Deadline to submit your titles and sizes via the PDF printed form is Saturday, November 11th. Note that this show does NOT use our online submission form. They prefer a printed form for the Tapestry show. Print this out and fill it in!
It is FREE to participate in Tapestry. If your item sells, 25% of the fee goes to support the Tapestry show.
You can bring your PDF form in with you when you bring in the artwork. All artwork brought in will be hung (as long as it is family friendly, etc.). You can choose one piece out of the up to three you bring in to be judged.
Note on Judging: The Tapestry show is an Alternatives show, not a BVAA show, so it’s fine to enter works here that have already been judged in another BVAA show.
Drop-Off
Drop-Off for the show will be up through Saturday, November 11th. If you bring in items after November 11th they might still be able to be added to the show but they cannot be judged at that point.
NOTE ON DROPOFF: Typically this gallery’s drop off times are 8:30am to 9am, 11:20 to 12:30pm, and 2:30 to 3:30pm M-F. If someone wants to drop off on that very last day, Saturday, November 11th, please call first to set up a time.
