August 7, 2019--Woodlawn has posted information on their website about the March, 2020 57th Annual Needlework Exhibit (click
here).
Start Stitching Now for our 2020
Needlework Show & Sale, which has a theme we know you will
support.
You
have until JANUARY, 2020, to submit your pieces, but we know how long
it takes so we wanted to give you a "theme sneak peak" right
now.
Women. Choosing to
Craft.
2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 1920
ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which
granted all women the right to vote and to be a participant in our democracy.
At this year’s show, we hope that numerous and diverse pieces of extraordinary
needlework will be submitted!
We want to fully engage us all in the broadest story possible of what “making
needlework” might mean for anyone, everywhere, but particularly for women, who
still are not always free to choose what to make and how.
Needlework, like most craft, can be just a beautiful art
piece, or it can be a pathway that its maker uses to express opinion. Often, it
is both. Activism within the craft community has become more commonplace in our
modern era, but traditional, historical pieces serve also to offer us a glimpse
into the basic right of women to choose their path.
What will you choose to make for us to showcase in
2020?
Thank you Linda Mosch for forwarding the email about this.
