SUMMER 2016 ‐ Textures of Fort Mill ‐ Call for entries... all ages and skill levels! LOOM Coworking is a dynamic and collaborative work environment in downtown Fort Mill that will be filled with entrepreneurs and independent creatives from across York County and south Charlotte. It will also include substantial rotating exhibit space for local artisans called GALLERY@LOOM. Our first two exhibits are meant to highlight community and student artists. These shows will hang during the months of June and July in our interim facility. In August, our first professional exhibit will be by Marge Loudon Moody, internationally known artists and Winthrop professor. Selected works will be highlighted on the LOOM Coworking website and a reception will be held during one of the summer’s Fort Mill First Friday events. Additionally, GALLERY@LOOM will partner with artists to actively promote the show via social media. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Subject matter: Close proximity photographs of the structures, surfaces and materials that make up our community. Photos must be taken within the greater downtown area (see map) and artists should document where photographs are taken. The Concept: When we think about a community, images of buildings, parks, and large venues typically come to mind. What is often forgotten is that, for most people, our understanding and our connection to our environment is affected mostly by the materials and textures in our immediate proximity. The surfaces and textures that we come in contact with on a daily basis create a mosaic which constructs our world. Texture plays a fundamental role in how people perceive the beauty and importance of the products they use on a daily basis, the rooms and buildings they inhabit, and the community in which they live. Our goal for embarking on this exhibit is to document many of the textures that make up the framework in which we live and work, Fort Mill. Some of these occur naturally, some are utilitarian in nature, some are purely decorative, and some are a product of the inhabitants themselves. Whatever the case, they stitch together to blanket our immediate environment with visual and tactile experiences from which we create emotional connections and associations. The American Heritage Dictionary defines texture as a “distinctive or identifying quality or character”. The visual sense of history, tradition, creativity, advancement, civic‐mindedness and family are created in Fort Mill, not by successful corporate branding, but by an unintentional conglomeration of the buildings, landscape, and textures that make up our surroundings. Texture provides us with indications about the strength of items in our environment, about the safety of a surface, and about the identification of materials. Through this gallery exhibit at our new space in downtown Fort Mill, we would like to get a deeper understanding of how the Fort Mill community views, associates, and values the materials and textures of our community. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Guidelines ‐ If you would like to be considered for this GALLERY@LOOM call for photography, please see description below. • Individuals may submit up to 5 entries each; Unselected pieces can be returned • Format: 8x10 photographic print (B&W/color, film/digital, manipulated/original format) • Must be unframed; mounted neatly on white foam core • All entries must include (printed and adhered neatly to the back) the applicant’s name, email, phone, age (for students), photo location or identifier.
