June 1 Deadline for The Eye and the Needle Entries

Hi everyone, Good news!!!

The entry date for The Eye and the Needle has been moved back to June 1 so everyone has a little more time to create a wonderful piece (or two or three) for the show. Please read through the entry form and additional information below. We have also sent the form out as a Word document through SAQA email system.  We hope you will be excited about this opportunity. The Fineline Gallery in St. Charles is a wonderful venue and they are very supportive of the quilting arts.

The Eye and the Needle is an exhibit of fiber art work by Illinois and Wisconsin regional members of SAQA. (Studio Art Quilt Associates)

Theme: Since its invention, artists have long been intrigued with photography. Many artists from different media use their own photographic images as studies or inspiration for their work.  The Eye and the Needle is an exhibit of fiber artworks created from the artist’s original photo, used as inspiration, in production, manipulation or in some other manner in the creation of the work.  The artwork and photo will be hung in tandem for each artist. Artists may use another person’s original photo with permission and credit line on the exhibit signage.  No stock or commercial photos.

Artist’s original photography encouraged. Please include a brief description of how you used your photo in your label info on the entry form.
