Happy March!  Thank you for your patience during my short hiatus.  I am back and will return to regular posting during the next 2 weeks. 

In the meantime, I received this call today and thought it was a perfect opportunity for those of you ust starting to build a resume–The 3rd Annual 6x6x2010 is a brilliant fundraiser in benefit of the Rochester Contemporary Art Center.

The rules are pretty simple:

You send up to 10 pieces of work sized 6″ x 6″ x no more than 1/4″ deep signed only on the back, and they will be exhibited at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center and sold at $20 each. 

No hanging hardware necessary–they use push pins.

Why participate? 

1. It is an “all hung” show so you won’t receive a rejection letter. 

2. You can add a NY Show to your resume. 

3. You get a chance to support the arts while possibly picking up a collector or two.

Here is the call, in brief, with a link to the prospectus at bottom:

6x6x2010 is the third exhibition of thousands of original artworks, made and donated by celebrities, international and local artists, designers, college students, youths and YOU. Each artwork will be 6×6 inches square and signed only on the back, to be exhibited anonymously.

All artworks will be for sale to the public for $20 each, to benefit Rochester Contemporary Art Center. Artists’ names will be revealed to the buyer only upon purchase and all artworks will remain on display for the duration of the exhibition. Don’t miss Rochester’s largest exhibition and don’t miss the chance to show your artwork in great company and support of Rochester’s downtown contemporary art venue.

All submissions are due by May 2 at 5 pm and should be delivered or mailed directly to Rochester Contemporary Art Center. A full list of artists and an online gallery of all contributed artworks will be made available for viewing and purchasing online.
