Deadline: 15 Aug 2021
Questions to ask yourself about your work when making a submission:

- Does fiber making provide comfort, or do you use fiber processes to push against the boundaries of social constraints and/or civil and social unrest?

In addition to images of up to 3 artworks, please write 1-3 sentences answering one of the above 3 questions.
BWAC promotes emerging artists. Threads That Bind will highlight fiber artists who have not been able to show their work, especially due to the Covid pandemic.
