When I moved to the Great Smoky Mountains a few years ago, my family made a commitment to becoming more attuned to our surroundings and spending more time in the Great Outdoors. My family has tried gardening–no easy feat on the side of a mountain–as well as hiking, white water rafting and more. Why not bike riding? This Call for Entries is a great resume builder because it is a non-juried (all hung) show and promotes Bikes for the World too!
Here’s the Call for Entries for
Biketastic
An Art Show Inspired by Bicycles
“Biketastic” is an art show for all mediums inspired by bicycles! This show is meant to feature art that represents the many nuances of bike culture; from bikes for commuting, racing and pleasure rides to those who ride them for economic, and environmental reasons.
The Soundry’s proximity to the Washington & Old Dominion Trail gives the area a lot of “bike traffic.” As a result, they see first hand what an important role biking plays in many people’s lives. Smartly enought…they have also noticed that bike enthusiasts like bike related art!
This show is open to all mediums and will bring with it many bike-centered events from organized “rides” to film screenings, and a fashion show. The opening of the arts show will benefit Bikes for the World!
Commit to Submit Form Here! “Biketastic” is unjuried. The submission fee is $20 and artists may submit up to 3 pieces. All work must be for sale and ready to hang or display.
Submissions are due by July 21, 2010.
Delivery of art work is due to The Soundry by July 28th.
The Gallery at the Soundry
The gallery at The Soundry occupies about one quarter of their total space. It’s a rough-around-the-edges kind of space with good lighting and comfortable seating.
They hang their member’s artwork in this area and offer it for sale. This is the place to go in Vienna, Virginia if you’re looking for work from emerging artists, or if you just want to kick back, sip a latte, and take in some new sights.
The artwork in the gallery changes regularly, and a large portion of their gallery space is set aside for installation works.
The garage atmosphere and undergound, working-studio feel give visitors an experience they’re guaranteed not to find anywhere in the region.
Make sure you hurry:
