Woman Made Gallery «Unraveled» 2027: Fiber, Textile and Digital Textile Art, November 7 Deadline
An exhibition dedicated to expanded textile practices
Woman Made Gallery in Chicago is accepting artwork for its 2027 exhibition Unraveled, scheduled for January 16–February 13. The juried call welcomes women and nonbinary artists worldwide and explores fiber, textile, stitching, quilting, weaving, soft sculpture and experimental practices that reinterpret or extend textile traditions. Relevant digital work might include generative textile patterns, code-assisted weaving, animated documentation or interactive fabric installations, but an applicant must show a clear material or conceptual link to textiles. The exhibition is being adjudicated by Rebekah Baker and submissions close November 7, 2026.
Specific current fee and application limits
The individual Unraveled call lists a US$30 entry fee; the gallery's general guidelines mention a default US$35 for some other juried exhibitions. Applicants should use the fee belonging to Unraveled rather than copying the general figure without checking the current form. The gallery generally permits one submission containing one to three pieces, requiring an artist statement and an accurate image of the finished or exhibition-ready work. Its policy disqualifies art presented at the gallery in an earlier exhibition and primarily AI-generated works with minimal human intervention.
Shipping, assistance and selection
Selected work is expected to arrive ready for display, with the precise dimensions, installation method and insurance or sales conditions documented in the acceptance contract. This is a juried exhibition, not a stipend paid automatically to everyone whose application is complete. The gallery offers a limited number of entry-fee waivers, with some reserved for underrepresented or financially disadvantaged applicants; request a waiver before applying rather than paying and later expecting reimbursement. International freight and return labels are not automatically included in the entry fee.
A long-running organisation with a clear mission
Woman Made Gallery is a Chicago nonprofit established to support the exhibition and recognition of women and nonbinary artists. It has programmed shows with museum and independent curators and publishes its eligibility and reuse rules on a dedicated site. The organisers' public application page, historical exhibitions and physical address allow artists to check the legitimacy of the opportunity and judge whether a textile-centered group show suits their practice.
Official organiser requirements and application
Information checked 23 October 2026. Confirm the organiser's current eligibility, accepted media, time-zone deadline, submission and later participation costs, copyright and exhibition terms before entering or paying.
