I was involved in this last year and it was a great project.. A small 12"x 12" quilt was made and sent to Lynn... She put together ( hanging together ) over 100 quilts for this show. It turned out incredible..here are all the details.
Call for entries: Breaking Traditions Art Quilt Exhibit to benefit “A Place to Bark”
Breaking Traditions Art Quilt Exhibit has become a community effort, helping to support the fundraising projects of fellow fiber/mixed media artists.
The 2009 exhibit will benefit Bernie Berlin’s animal rescue, “A Place to Bark”. In honor of Bernie’s efforts to find orphaned and abused dogs permanent loving homes, the theme for the 2009 exhibit is “Home.”
From “A Place to Bark’s” mission statement: “Our mission is to provide assistance and care to animals in need. Working together with other animal welfare agencies to help end the needless killing of adoptable animals. Proactively working to save lives – through spaying and neutering – eliminates needless deaths. By building bridges and networking together, we hope to see a future of ending the unnecessary killing of animals. We receive no government assistance. We are funded through private donations and the proceeds of Bernie Berlin’s art sales.”
Breaking Traditions is proud to team up with Bernie to help raise funds to support all her incredible work. As part of the entry fee for the exhibit, artists are asked to donate $10 to “A Place to Bark”.
The exhibit features 12”x12” art quilts. Participants for the 2009 show will express those things, memories or emotions that define home to them. (Your art quilt may be about an animal family member or anything else that expresses what Home means to you. It is not limited to pet artwork only.) This is an open call exhibit, everyone is encouraged to participate. There are many opportunities to win prizes that have been donated by many generous artists and businesses.
Breaking Traditions debuts at The American Sewing Expo in Novi, Michigan at The Rock Financial Showplace the weekend of September 25-27, 2009. After that, the exhibit will travel to various venues during 2010.
