Criteria for subventions for Costume Committee members to attend Annual Meetings
The following criteria were established for subventions to attend a Costume Committee Annual
Meeting.
The deadline for applications is 1 April 2019.
Applicants must:

1. Be a member of the Costume Committee in good standing (include ICOM number with letter of application).
2. Have a paper accepted for presentation at the meeting.
3. Write an essay of at least 150 words (300 words maximum) explaining why you want to attend the Annual Meeting; explain other funding sources received.
4. Write a brief report on the experience of attending the meeting for the Newsletter.
5. Report to colleagues at home about the experience of attending the meeting with a copy to the Costume Committee Secretary.

The maximum amount of each subvention is 1200 Euros

THE COMMITTEE REIMBURSES EXPENSES ONLY
ON SUBMITTED RECEIPTS AFTER THE MEETING.

Please remind your colleagues that are under 35 years of age that ICOM grants one travel grant to each committee for a young professional for non-triennial meetings. We anticipate that more members will apply for Committee subventions for the meeting in Kyoto, and I encourage members to submit abstracts for the meeting once the Call for Papers is issued in February 2019.

Der Internationale Carpet Design Award 2019 geht an Österreichisches Textilatelier Beate von Harten. „A clever and original concept. You get lost in the layers of texture“,

so das Statement der interantionalen Jury: Ein einzigartiger Teppich mit gleichzeitig über 675 Variationen.
Das global ersonnene Konzept von Beate von Harten ist ein doppelseitiger Teppich - die Flor-Seite ist auswechselbar mit der Flachgewebeseite. Das Werk besteht aus insgesamt 15 Teilen (3 Stück in 80x80 Zentimetern und 12 Stück in 40x40 Zentimetern), die individuell mit Schleifen aus witzigem, umweltfreundlichen Zpagetti T-yarn verbunden oder getrennt werden können.
Also gibt es fast unendliche Kombinationsmöglichkeiten. „Ein Werk verschiedenster Farben, Strukturen, Größen und Designformen“, so die Künstlerin. (Textquelle: Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung von www.pr-atelier.at - ) Weitere Infos > http://www.beatevonharten.at/news/carpetdesignaward2019
