ELIGIBILITY:
- For the purpose of this exhibit, “QUILT” is defined as three layers (top is the creatively designed side, a center batting, and then a back) with all three layers joined together with threads in some sort of pattern or design.
- Open to artists 18 years or older who are members of the Cabin Fever Quilters’ Guild, or are residents of Interior Alaska or the Doyon Region.
- Each artist/artist group is limited to one entry.
- The original artist/maker must submit the entry, not a later recipient of the entry.
- This exhibit is a NON-JURIED show. Work submitted must reflect the unique creative effort of the artist/maker, and must meet the basic criteria of being a quilt or being quilted.
- No kits, copies, or exact replicas of other original artwork or published quilts. No copies of any published images or copyrighted characters, i.e. Disney. Contact the Cabin Fever Quilters’ Guild coordinator (see reverse) for review of any questionable quilt prior to delivery date.
- Using a published pattern is acceptable, but the entry must then show the creative interpretation of the maker.
- Entry must have been completed after July 2016 and not previously exhibited in the Bear Gallery.
