miracle

The TXT organization invites all textile artists and art students to submit works to juried small format competitive exhibition with the topic Miracle.

Miracle:

1. an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency
2. a remarkable event or development that brings very welcome consequences
synonyms: wonder, marvel, sensation

We expect to see subjective and clear interpretations of the topic. The visual interpretation must include fabric-processing techniques as well as the artist´s own technique combined with fabric. The works of art must not exceed 20x20x20cm. A maximum of three art works per one person may be entered. The artworks mustn´t include a special construction nor a frame. The weight of the package must not be more than 2 kg.
