Entries open for 2021 SAWS Fine Works in Wood Exhibition Sept. 10 to 19
News Release
Calgary, Alta. May 3, 2021. It has a reputation as the top woodworking exhibition in Western Canada seen by thousands of visitors. Entries are now open for the Southern Alberta Woodworkers Society (SAWS) Fine Works in Wood Exhibition and Sale, slated for Sept. 10 to 19, 2021 in Southcentre Mall, Calgary, Alta.
“For more than 38 years SAWS has been encouraging woodworking of the highest standards,” says Dave Old, SAWS Exhibition chair. “The biennial Exhibition is always a much-anticipated celebration of this effort.”
This competition features works predominantly made of wood with materials other than wood used to complement the design. Original designs, excellence in workmanship and diversity of approach have been hallmarks of past exhibitions.
The show is free and open to the public and one goal is to exhibit these incredible skills to all those interested in seeing them, says Old. The Southcentre Mall location brings thousands of people in daily making it an ideal way for makers to showcase their skills and products. Some entries will be available for sale.
Exhibition entry deadline is June 4, 2021. Entry details such as fees are available at the Call for Entries document on the SAWS website www.saws.ca. While the Exhibition is open to any woodworker anywhere in Canada, all successful entries must pass a SAWS Standards Committee Assessment. That ensures only the highest standards work makes it into the show. In addition entries will be judged by a Jury of experts with winners declared in three categories: Furniture, turning and other.
“Anyone who wants to see entries from past exhibitions can do that at the SAWS website under the Exhibitions button”
This Exhibition is provided in part with the support of the local and Western Canadian woodworking community and related industries, says Old. The exhibition and sale space is provided courtesy of Oxford Properties which owns Southcentre Mall. Financial support is provided in part by assistance from Calgary Arts Development and through Exhibition sponsorship.
