Juror's Talk: "Seasons of the Smokies" Wearable Art Exhibit
Description
Poised at the junction of art, craft and fashion, artwear has both challenged and blurred cultural boundaries as works of art made to adorn the body. Take a virtual walk through the wearable art exhibit with Juror Dianne Totten as she discusses the impact that color, design, fabric and construction have in creating designer show pieces. Produced by the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. (HGA), the Seasons of the Smokies exhibit and juror's talk was originally scheduled to take place at the 2020 Convergence® conference that was going to take place in Knoxville in July. The conference was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the exhibit and juror's talk are now virtual. Participating artists have been invited to show their work at the 2022 Convergence® conference rescheduled for July 15-21, 2022 in Knoxville, TN. View Seasons of the Smokies online.
The Juror's Talk will be conducted via HGA's Zoom platform on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM EST. Registration for the live event will close at 12:00 PM EST. All registrants and anyone who registers after registration closes for the live event will receive access to an "on demand" recording of the juror's talk.
