The Greater Denton Arts Council announces the opening of its 2016 Call for Entries for the 29th annual
Materials: Hard & Soft National Contemporary Craft Competition and Exhibition. 
Recognized as one of the premier craft exhibitions in the country,
Materials: Hard & Soft
began in 1987 and was originally initiated by area artist Georgia Leach
Gough. The exhibition celebrates the evolving field of contemporary
craft and the remarkable creativity
and innovation of artists who push the boundaries of their chosen
media. Drawing hundreds of applications from across the United States
each year, approximately 70 works will be selected for exhibition by our
2016 Juror, Elizabeth Kozlowski. As the curator
of the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Kozlowki has over 12
years of curatorial and gallery experience with a specialty in
contemporary ceramics. Of the works selected, Juror Awards in the
amounts of $1,000, $750, $500 and $250 will be presented.
