Dear Artists, Weavers, Teachers,
The Handweavers’ Guild of Spokane, Washington is soliciting proposals from teachers, weavers and artists for the 2009 Conference of the Association of Northwest Weavers’ Guilds to be held May 28 – May 31, 2009 (post conference workshops will run June 1 – 3, 2009.) The conference will be held on the campus of Gonzaga University. We invite you to submit proposals for seminars and workshops. Deadline is July 1, 2008.
The conference will provide instruction fees, transportation to and from Spokane, provide meals and lodging, and of course, conference registration. We expect between 300 and 500 participants. Participants will be registering for three half-day seminar sessions and optional post conference workshops of one, two, or three days in length.
We will be offering a range of teaching options. You could plan your seminar for a two - three hour half-day session, a full day, or a day and one-half session. At the conclusion of the conference, there will be one, two and three day workshops. We encourage you to prepare for a seminar or two and a workshop as a stand alone or a follow-on activity.
To respond to this request for proposals, please submit via e-mail a Microsoft Word, Word Perfect or Rich Text Format (rtf) document describing your proposed seminar(s) and/or workshop, the length (half-day, full-day, day and one-half seminars; one-day, two-day, or three day workshops), the expected instructor’s fee and the type of space or facility needed. Hard copies of proposals may be submitted to me at my home address: 704 W. Cleveland Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99205-3246.
Our conference theme is “Weaving Waves of Color” and the conference will feature an instructor’s trunk show. Current plans are to have that show at the Jundt Art Museum on the Gonzaga campus. Check out the Gonzaga campus at www.gonzaga.edu and search for Jundt for more information.
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Victoria Leuba
