1. Call for Entries: Florida in Fabric!
The Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts (in Melbourne, Florida) recently announced a call for entries into its second "Florida in Fabric" statewide juried quilt exhibition!
"We invite Florida artists to submit their quilted visions of the Florida
experience—a “postcard” from the Sunshine State. Florida evokes diverse
images of tropical beaches, exotic wildlife and
historic exploration. From the Fountain of Youth to the Space Shuttle,
sunken treasure or Suwannee River, Florida inspires dreams of renewal
and refuge. Explore the state of mind that is Florida and send us your
inspiration."
