On June 11, we will also be accepting submissions for the OPEN CALL for "Animal Fibers: Art Informs Shibori" curated by Jean Cacicedo and Jorie Johnson at Hong Kong Design Institute. Deadline is Oct 15.

Registration for Workshops, Daily Excursions, and Calls for Trunk Show, Demos, and Short Talks will open later during Phase 2.
