If a gallery approaches you, you won't have to convince them because they already know that art quilts are fine art. (The moment I have to try and convince people to buy or show my work I lose interest)<br />For myself...I would hate juried shows...a lot! I can feel myself bristling at the thought.<br /><br />Kim, I hope the right doors open for you soon. With all the research you're doing it shouldn't be long before you find something that feels right. Go with your gut.ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-10593885843407787172009-05-17T10:55:00.000-04:002009-05-17T10:55:00.000-04:00Well, lets see -- I'm going to enter the 2009 Nati...Well, lets see -- I'm going to enter the 2009 National Small Art Quilt Works in Groton, NY. I forgot that I did enter last year. My one attempt. Please wish me luck?<br /><br />I do expect to sell some work on Etsy, by golly. I'm just going to keep working on that and remain positive (not many other options anyway).<br /><br />If someone doesn't accept fiber art, I will be mixed media. Perhaps I shall be mixed media regardless. I just feel that category is too broad sometimes, though.Kim Hambrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784106179953299055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-33245328717109944892009-05-16T22:41:00.000-04:002009-05-16T22:41:00.000-04:00You convince them by entering.

Your work could fall into the mixed media category easily.Fibra Artystahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121605078535663853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-27591490441260552072009-05-16T15:24:00.000-04:002009-05-16T15:24:00.000-04:00I made art quilts for 12 years.

There was a limit of three pieces for everyone. One woman submitted one art quilt and won Best in Show for the whole show. My three pieces were the only other things in fiber art and I got 1st, 2nd and 3rd. People didn't like that, so the next year, fiber arts was stuck in with pottery, sculpture, jewelry, baskets, etc. - everything that wasn't painting or photography. I didn't like that, and stopped entering. I went back this year. This time there was one category for photography, and everything else was in a second category. I felt that was more equitable. Now I'm doing mixed media instead of quilts, but I still need to stick up for my fiber art friends! I have no good suggestions for selling your work. I know I would totally hate to sit somewhere and have everyone walk past me. My Etsy sales have slowed to a total crawl. That's for my notecards and ACEOs. I actually never expected to sell one of my art quilts on Etsy, but one did sell a couple months ago. I don't really expect it to happen again.Jean Baardsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434387984631853462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-24026717164093265512009-05-16T12:30:00.000-04:002009-05-16T12:30:00.000-04:00i got dizzy and nauseous reading this.
