CALL FOR ENTRY
Symphony in Fiber: Harmony in Color and Texture

Jurors: Norma Smayda, Susan Ward, Laurie Carlson Steger

Music is an art that awakens emotions and imaginative imagery. Many textile makers find a correlation between the notation of musical scores and textile drafts or patterns and use these similarities by blending fibers, patterns, and textures to evoke a feeling like a favorite melody. Art League RI invites fiber artists to create works inspired by music to submit work to this exhibition.

In conjunction with Symphony in Fiber: Harmony in Color and Texture, Art League of Rhode Island is excited to present Weavers Duet: The Works of Norma Smayda and Laurie Carlson Steger. Smayda’s and Steger’s works, both independently and collaboratively, are inspired by music. With themes and variations of tone and structure, their textile compositions express a lyrical mood in a weaver’s duet.
