The Greater Denton Arts Council presents the 26th Annual Materials: Hard & Soft National Contemporary Craft Competition and Exhibition. This exhibition, which has run continuously since 1987, was the idea of local artist, Georgia Leach Gough. The name, Materials: Hard & Soft, refers to the entire range of fine craft. This competition and ensuing exhibition still draws the attention of fans of contemporary craft across the country. In 2006, the Texas Commission on the Arts designated this show as a "must see" exhibition in Texas. It is one of the premier craft exhibitions in the country. The juror this year is Jean W. McLaughlin, executive director of the Penland School of Crafts since 1998. This year, we received entries from 207 artists, with a total of 568 pieces. Ms. McLaughlin chose 73 pieces for the exhibition.
Opening reception is Friday, February 8, 2013, 6:00 – 8:00 pm, recognition of awards at 6:45 pm. To obtain additional information about the exhibit either visit the GDAC's website, www.dentonarts.com, or call 940-382-2787.
