In February 2018, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art in Tennessee is bringing the Fowler Museum’s exhibition African-Print Fashion Now! to the South. Visitors will be introduced to the dynamic traditions of African dress featuring colorful, boldly patterned printed cloth through an inspiring and mesmerizing traveling exhibition. To celebrate the opening of their newest exhibition, we’ve partnered with the Brooks for this week’s African Art design challenge. For this special challenge, our community voted in the top 25 designs while the grand prize winner was chosen by the Brooks Museum themselves. Congratulations to grand prize winner thewellingtonboot, who will be receiving a $200 Spoonflower credit for her design, African Art Cloth and a special feature at the Brooks Museum. We’d also love to recognize second place (svetlana_prikhnenko) and third place (mimipinto) winners who will be receiving $100 and $50 in Spoonflower credit, respectively. Prepare yourselves, the top ten is guaranteed to mesmerize!
