CALL FOR ENTRIES
Craft Biennial: A Review of Northwest Art & Craft


Oregon College of Art & Craft announces a call for entries for the
exhibition "Craft Biennial: A Review of Northwest Art & Craft." The
fifth in the biennial series devoted to handmade work in the Northwest,
the "Craft Biennial" seeks submissions that demonstrate a broad spectrum
of craft media. 

Artists in Oregon and Washington are invited to submit slides of work
that investigate and redefine the traditional form of the object.
Artists working in ceramics, fibers, wood, metal, glass, drawing, mixed
media, book arts, papermaking, photography and printmaking are
encouraged to apply.

As an educational institution committed to intellectual inquiry and
craftsmanship, this exhibition provides a unique opportunity to examine
the state of modern craft in the Northwest. The "Craft Biennial" seeks
to provoke a dialogue between the viewer and object, as well as one
between the objects themselves.
 
To receive a Call For Entries Form, please call 503-297-5544 or download
at www.ocac.edu. Deadline for submitting slides is May 25, 2007. The
"Craft Biennial" exhibition runs August 2-September 27, 2007 with an
opening reception on Thursday, August 2 from 4 to 7pm.

Background:
For one hundred years, Oregon College of Art & Craft has been dedicated
to excellence in teaching art through craft, contributing significantly
