GREEN: the Color and the Cause
April 2011 - September 2011
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Many cultures traditionally associate the color green with nature and its attributes, including life, fertility and rebirth. In recent years, green has become a symbolic color of environmentalism. This exhibition will celebrate green both as a color and as a cause, exploring the techniques people have devised to create green textiles, the meanings this color has held in cultures across time and place, and the ways that contemporary textile artists and designers are responding to concerns about the environment.
The exhibition will include approximately 25 textiles from the museum's collection, as well as a section of work by contemporary artists and designers. To have your work considered for inclusion, please review the call for entries application.
