Artists with a fondness for fabric are invited to participate in the Noblesville Fabric Arts Show in August 2023. The show is made possible through a partnership between Nickel Plate Arts and the Hamilton County Bicentennial Commission’s representative from Noblesville.
The Fabric Arts Show will take place in Noblesville (location to be announced), with an opening reception on Aug. 4 during First Friday events. The People’s Choice Awards ceremony will take place on Sept. 1.
The Fabric Arts Show includes two categories for entry: 1. heirloom or antique, and 2. modern or newly created. To be considered for the show, pieces must have a Hamilton County connection either through subject, maker, history, or current owner. Show sponsors encourage artistic interpretations of Hamilton County’s history through new pieces of fabric art.
Applicants may submit more than one piece. The deadline for submission is July 22, 2023. Applicants can complete a form to submit their pieces for consideration beginning Jan. 9, 2023, at this link.
