In space, nobody can hear you stitch…

The Snips present:
Horrified V: In Spaaaaaace

A galactic-inspired new fiber and textile arts exhibition coming October 2026!

Horrified V: In Spaaaaaace will explore themes of the alien, paranoia, and otherness through the lens of science fiction and space. Whether the vast cosmic gumbo of existence unlocks your deepest fears or the idea of little green men invading your hamlet, “Horrified V: In Spaaaaace” will cover it all in The Snip’s fifth “Horrified” exhibition series inspired by the spookiest time of the year.

This will be a shorter turn around than our previous calls for art, more information coming to you soon. As always, there will be no application fee. Application opens late summer.

Please also note that all creatures depicted in art should be extraterrestrial in nature (as opposed to say, the tomatoes from “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” which are a result of earth-bound genetic mutation. This submission is for your Xenomorphs, Audrey II’s, and alien found footage from “Signs.”

All submissions must include the use of a fiber/textile art or fiber materials and welcomes artists at all career levels to submit their application.

Artist Mixers act as a low-pressure chance to meet and connect with your fellow local and talented fiber artisans. It is open to anyone and everyone who identifies as an artist specifically within the realm of fibers and textiles or the fiber-curious. We encourage folks to bring a small project to work on. Or don’t and just be there for some light refreshments and human connection.

We cannot wait to see you there!

The Snips Artist Mixer | Wed, April 15th, 2026 from 5:00pm-7:00pm

We know there's a lot going on, Olympic Fever alone, right? We've heard that folks need to get some ground under their feet which continues to be difficult with the current occupation in Minnesota.

The Snips have extended the call for art deadline for "Just Desserts" to Friday, February 20th (just in time for the newly discovered, by us at least, Cherry Pie Day). A reminder that artists are not required to have a completed piece for this application-- we also accept concept pieces with your work samples. As always, there is no application fee and all proceeds of art sales in "Just Desserts" goes to the artist.

www.thesnipsmpls.org

About the Call for Art:

The Snips and their artists seek to explore the theme of confectioneries and comeuppance through the medium of textile and fiber art.

“Just desserts” or “just deserts?” Are you inclined to enjoy the saccharine things in life and find joy and expression through sweet treats? Or, are you more persuaded to believe that one will get the punishment or reward they deserve? In this case, we do mean both. Just Desserts explores relationships with confectionary form, relationships with decadent treats, morality prescribed to these foods, and the imagery that comes from the expression of someone getting their “just deserts.”

Notice of acceptance into "Just Desserts" has also moved to Tuesday, February 24th.
