Annual Guild Exhibition The 2010 Exhibit will be held at the Guild House from March 12th through Sunday March 21st Following PGHW’s philosophy, “We learn by doing and grow by sharing,” the annual juried exhibition serves as a showcase for both the experienced and emerging fiber artist and as an educational experience for the growing membership and general public. Exceptional craftsmanship among participants and constructive criticism from expert jurors encourages both the integrity of craft and craftsperson. Our Annual Guild Exhibition aims to encourage each member to continue creating fiber art and, by displaying that work, to inspire each other and the public. We take time during one month each year to acknowledge and celebrate the hours of work spent in classrooms, in study groups, and within our own homes and studios. The dates and location of our next exhibition will be announced soon. Prior to the exhibition, a three-person Standards Committee will screen all entries on the basis of craftsmanship and condition. The committee reserves the right to refuse any pieces due to unprofessional presentation or misrepresentation. Any pieces not of exhibit quality will be returned with appropriate explanations and comments. Members will have the opportunity to re-submit their pieces the following year. Exhibition Awards PGHW awards three memorial prizes and accompanying plaques, along with the other awards listed here. Three-time winners are retired from eligibility for the same award, but may compete for other awards. The Kathryn Wellman Memorial Award for imaginative weaving incorporating design, color and texture. The J. Willard Lord Memorial Award for technical excellence in weaving. Juror's Choice Award
