Attention All Art Quilters, Fiber, and Textile Artists! Vision’s Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA) is proud to announce the proposal season for our 2026 calendar year. Please see below for additional details. 

Exhibition Proposal Guidelines

Visions Museum of Textile Art (VMOTA) seeks to exhibit a variety of artists working in the field of textile and fiber arts.

Our Proposal Season, open to both solo artist and group proposals, will take place from September 1st, 2024, to December 15th, 2024.

New this year: Exhibition proposal submissions must be sent through our ArtCall online portal only. Please do not send submissions to VMOTA directly.  Click here to go to the submission portal, or type https://proposalseason2026.artcall.org/ into your browser.

Note: Submission does not imply or guarantee that a proposal will be accepted for exhibition. 

All proposals will be reviewed January through March 2025, and artists will be notified by April 15th, 2025. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your artistic talents through an exclusive exhibition at VMOTA in 2026.

Details About Your Submission

All submissions must be completed in English. If English is not your native language, we encourage you to use Google Translate to complete your application. If proposals are not complete, the proposal will not be considered until all corrections are made and resubmitted. A confirmation email will be sent after your piece is successfully submitted. Due to the volume of applicants we ask that you please do not contact the museum about the status of your application. The museum will contact you if any other information is needed ahead of the formal selection process.

Proposals are an opportunity to show a portfolio representative of the artist’s or group’s work.  If selected, VMOTA will request more information about the theme and pieces that fit our upcoming calendar. (Maximum of 1 proposed entry, unless you’re part of a group.) 

High resolution images should be between 4MG and 10MG. 

Please note: 

  • Visions Museum of Textile Art does not consider rental exhibitions.  
  • Artists are responsible for the cost of shipping the artwork to and from Visions Museum of Textile Art if accepted into an exhibition. A prepaid self-addressed return label(s) is required for each work.
