ART/CRAFTS: Barn quilt project
Springdale-based Arts One Presents seeks four Northwest Arkansas-based fiber/textile artists and craftspeople for a forthcoming art installation, “The Springdale Barn Quilt Project.”
The artists will design a barn quilt that reflects practices and traditions of their respective Hispanic, Marshallese or Ozarkan cultures. (“Ozarkan” defines people who have either generational connections to the Boston Mountain region or who have moved here, and practice traditional Ozark folkways, such as quilting, weaving, and lace-making.) One artist from each community will design and paint an 8-foot-square barn quilt; a fourth “artist-at-large” will design and paint a barn quilt “to represent a vibrant, intercultural Springdale,” according to a news release.
Complete the online application form, which includes submission of images of your work and a description of your practice and process, at bit.ly/barnquiltproject, by 11:59 p.m. Feb. 1. Target to complete the quilts is early May. The quilts and the artists’ traditional craftwork will be on display in a 2023 exhibition at The Medium by CACHE and the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History.
