The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum is organizing an exhibit which highlights quilts created by African American artists. The exhibit entitled SISTERS IN CLOTH will run from May 6 through July 12, 2008.

The show will cover a wide range of styles, from the traditional to the more contemporary, and will showcase the varied works in design, style, inspiration, and message. Submissions must include one full and one detail view of the entry in either 35 mm slides or 300 dpi digital electronic jpeg files on CD. In addition, include an artist statement of about 100 words, as well as a description of materials used.

There are no size requirements for the quilts, but please do note the dimensions of the piece when submitting your entry. Slides or digital entries must be received at the Museum by November 16th, 2007. Applicants will be notified by mid December as to whether or not the quilt has been selected for the exhibit. Artists whose work is selectedwill be instructed as to what additional information i needed and when the artwork must be delivered to the Museum.
