Call to Artists

Sitting or reclining, crossed legged or straight legged, sitting down or sitting on a high chair, squatting, being in the HOT SEAT, flying BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS, or being ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT. Many phrases describe the act of sitting. How do crafthaus artists interpret this? We would like to show examples of the act of "sitting" and leave this open to interpretation. Our idea is to show actual chairs, benches, couches and other seating objects AS WELL AS artwork that references and plays with the act of sitting or any meaning thereof. Work in ALL MEDIA ENCOURAGED!

All selected work will be part of an online exhibition. The exhibit is open to all members of Craft haus and will be posted for one month. There is no entry fee and includes no monetary awards.

To be eligible, submitted work must be designed and made by the artist. No work made from kits will be considered. We are looking for work that would be at home in an art gallery.

SUBMISSION PROCESS:

represented by 1-2 images, a full view and a detail.
