Artist Expressions of Interest - 6th Textile Triennial

• Expressions of interest will be accepted from artists living and working in Australia.
• The panel will not consider any materials submitted, other than those identified in the Submission Checklist.
• Where an artist is selected for the 6^th Tamworth Textile Triennial, the artist authorises the reproduction of images of their work, their artist statement and CV in the catalogue, education kit, website, promotion and other material produced for the 6th Tamworth Textile Triennial.
• Expressions of Interest received electronically or postmarked after the closing date will not be accepted, no exceptions. 

Stage One (5 March 2025 – 5 May 2025)

A panel will be convened in July 2025 to make an initial selection of artists. The factors they will consider will include:

 Artistic expression—works that reflect a diversity of cultural ideas

 Collaboration— works that extend practice through an engagement with innovation and technology

 Creative Process—works that question convention through process and technique

 Communication—through playful enquiry, works that employ a rich visual language through narrative and image

 Materiality—works that demonstrate sensitivity to the innate and unique qualities that textiles offer: tactility, structure, surface, colour, attention to detail, pattern, a rich history

 Interrelated—works that move between disciplines, traditions and contemporary.

Stage Two (June, 2025)

Artists selected in Stage One will be invited to submit a detailed proposal in response to a theme to be determined by the curator. The curator will also arrange a suitable time to visit with artists in their studio.

Stage Three (August, 2025)
