TMFA - Call for Entry

boot

Y'all Come!

TMFA is proud to announce its 2011 Call for Entries. The theme this year is "Texas by the Yard and Yarn - Texas a Fabrication."

Texas' finest fiber arts have been exhibited in the past four years. This year promises to be the best ever in displaying Texas' resources and talent.

We're excited about your participation in the exhibit located in a prominent downtown Austin venue.

Regardless of the rompin' deadline, there ain't nothin' Texas artists can't do when called to rise to the challenge. So take off them spurs and that ten-gallon and get stitchin'.

Enter artwork(s) for the theme prize and/or the non-theme prizes.  Please click application for the entry form and other important information.

Ya'll come to the awards party and the exhibit!
