The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) is beyond pleased to officially announce their open call for this year’s fiber show!
CAMP Gallery invites fiber artists to submit proposals for the 7th edition of their annual exhibition, Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd, opening October 10, 2025. The exhibition will explore absurdism, referencing Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jose Saramago and/or Samuel Beckett. We ask that artists submit a proposal first, detailing how their piece compliments the chosen text, with an accompanying sketch and/or render.
✨ Please do not make any pieces before notice of acceptance. ✨
For a full list of details, and links to the gallery's reference materials, see below: and see website for more information: The Camp Gallery.
PROPOSAL PROCESS
Artists are required to be familiar with one (or more) of the texts listed above, and respond directly to their respective subject matter. We have included free links to make the material accessible; all rights retained by respective authors, publishers, and host sites.
We ask that artists submit a proposal first, detailing how their piece compliments the chosen text, with an accompanying sketch and/or render. Please do not make any pieces before notice of acceptance.
Artists are required to explore their response through fiber/textiles, and associated techniques. Artists may use threads, weaving, tapestry, embroidery, tufting, etc. Works can be abstract, figurative, geometric, etc.
Artists can propose one or more pieces ranging in size from 12 inches diameter, 18 inches diameter, 24 inches diameter, 30 inches diameter. We will also accept 2 works 40 inches diameter. All works will be pinned in the gallery, so we ask that proposals exclude frames; embroidery hoops, however, are acceptable.
Please note that this is a Call for Fiber Art; proposals must include practices related to fiber art, whether or not artists’ practices center the medium.
Proposals must be submitted to xoxo@thecampgallery.com with artist’s name and “Don’t Be Absurd” in the subject line.
