Call to artists – Gift of Water
Call to Artists – Gift of Water
Our gallery is seeking artwork expressing the theme “Gift of Water” (exploring the various associations with water and baptism: renewal, rebirth, resurrection, cleansing, life, oceans, rain, etc.) – a juried art exhibit that will be on view in our nave gallery throughout the 2009 Easter season, April 8 – June 3, with an artists’ reception planned for the evening of April 16th. All genres and media considered. Artwork needs to be 2-dimensional–it can extend into the third dimension, but it must be able to be hung on a wall.
Where: CR Gallery, Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Kenmore, WA
When: April 8 – June 3, 2009
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 16, 6:30– 8:30pm
How: Submit up to 3 jpegs (72dpi, 600 pixels on the longest side) via e-mail to arts@redeemer-kenmore.org. Please include your name, contact information, and a few words about your work. Also include title, medium, framed dimensions, and retail price of each image submitted. Submission deadline is March 23, 2009. The work will then be juried and acceptance notifications and delivery instructions will be sent out via e-mail by March 25th.
Entry fee: $15 (USD) for up to 3 images, payable via PayPal. This needs to be paid before work can be submitted to the jury.
Please take note of the following:
•Artwork must be ready to hang, preferably from a wire. Photographs and
artwork on paper must be framed with a wire attached for hanging. Canvases
do not need to be framed, but the sides should be painted, either a solid
color or as a continuation of the image, in order to give a neat,
professional appearance, and must have a wire attached to the stretchers
for hanging purposes.
•For work that is shipped, all shipping costs will be the responsibility
of the artist.
•Artwork can be for sale. The gallery will direct buyers directly to the
artist and takes no commission.
•The gallery will take care of advertising and publicity, and artists with
accepted work will receive postcard announcements to distribute
themselves.
•In addition to being displayed in the nave gallery, accepted artists will
also be featured on the church’s website.
•For ease of transport, and so we get to meet you, we are especially
seeking artists in the Puget Sound area, but this call is open to all
artists over 18.
•If you have any questions, please email Angela at arts@redeemer-kenmore.org.
Please feel free to pass this information along to other artists you think
might be interested.
