Call for Patterns!

Have your patterns published!

 

As I was browsing Chicago Artist's Resource website, (which is an AMAZING resource for Chicago based artists for researching exhibition opportunities), I came across a call for artists that seemed perfect for several of our students interested in patterns and repeats.  

Several of our talented students have prints, either hand-printed or designed on the computer in the Digital Imagery for Print on Fabric, that would wow readers.  The deadline is in June, so there's plenty of time to work on your designs or to take Allison's Digital Print for Fabric class this Winter to prepare your submissions.  

Here's the scoop:
