Apply now for ‘Earth, Fire and Fibre’ exhibition

Artists have until July 1 to apply to be part of the Anchorage Museum’s “Earth, Fire and Fibre XXIV” exhibition. This popular, biennial juried art exhibition was established to encourage Alaska artists to create new works in traditional craft materials such as fibre, clay and wood.

This year’s juror is Andrew Glasgow, retired executive director of the American Craft Council. Artworks are chosen based on an artist’s superb skill and forward-thinking concepts. The winner of the Juror’s Choice Award receives a $1,000 prize.

“Earth, Fire and Fibre” opens Oct. 6 and will be on view through Jan. 5, 2014, at the Anchorage Museum. After it closes in Anchorage, the exhibition will tour the state for one year.
