LOVE YOURSELF
Valentine’s Day has taken an odd turn at my house over the years. Gone are the roses, candy and candlelit dinners. In their place, my husband Jon and I now have some gourmet treat and a glass of wine and snuggle in for a good movie. It could be laziness on our parts, I suppose. But I prefer to think of it as comfort of knowing you are exactly where you want to be when you want to be there…unfettered by all the other expectations. This Valentine’s Day, be good to yourself and enter this next show by the deadline, February 14th, 2011.
Check out this Call for Entries for the 26th Annual Juried Competition known as the Tallahassee International. The entry fee is only $20, and academically juried shows are GREAT for your resume. Put your heart into it…
CALL for ENTRIES:
Tallahassee International 26TH Annual Juried Competition
The Tallahassee International is an annual juried competition organized by Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts. The competition is open to all media and is juried by a panel of faculty from within the College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance.
ELIGIBILITY: Artists are eligible to submit works without regard to sex, race, creed or national origin. Artists must be 18 years of age or older (current FSU CVATD faculty or students may not enter).
MEDIA: All media is eligible.
DEADLINE: February 14, 2011
ENTRY FEE: There is a $20.00 entry fee. A maximum of two (2) works per person may be submitted.
AWARDS: The jurors select the award winners from the actual works of art, after the exhibition has been installed. The First Place winner will receive $1,000.00 and the Second Place winner will receive $500.00. A color catalog of the Tallahassee International is produced, and all artists who enter will receive a copy. Accepted artists will each receive a set of 12 complimentary catalogs.
JURY PROCESS: The competition is juried by a panel of faculty members from the Florida State University College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance. Jurors select works based on their own merit and must agree the artist demonstrates skill within the chosen medium. Selections are made from the digital images, so it is imperative that quality images be provided to insure fair judging. Jurors and the FSU Museum reserve the right to reject, upon arrival, any work of unacceptable craftsmanship and quality not discernible in the image.
ABOUT THE MUSEUM: MoFA has a history of exciting projects—from lush painting to dynamic sculpture exhibitions, from challenging installations to provocative photography shows. Every season begins with an international competitive exhibition that embraces all media and every semester closes with the youth and exuberance of the graduating artist exhibitions.
They have examined the contact zone of Anglo and Native American cultures, the mystical side of Haitian folk painting, and the unsophisticated but intense works of outsider artists. The future promises exhibitions of equal caliber and interest.
