CHARTREUSE
ANYONE?
Does your family eat green or eco-friendly? My family has made progress toward going the eco-friendly green route in baby steps over the past few years both in our culinary exploits and energy consumption. However, I’ll admit that it rarely occurs to me to use my art to contribute to environmental awareness. I will do a lot of things to save the environment, just don’t ask me to drink the juice, ugh. This next call gives you the opportunity to use art to help protect Yosemite…
Check out the Call for Entries for the 27th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Exhibit. You can enter one piece for as little as $15 and help protect Yosemite National Park in new generations with your unique interpretation. It’s good to be green…
CALL for ENTRIES:
Yosemite Renaissance XXVII
Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition and exhibition which is intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite.
Its goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment.
Historically, the arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our State and National Parks. It is the hope of Yosemite Renaissance that they can be just as important in future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage.
ELIGIBILITY: The Yosemite Renaissance XXVII competition is open to all living artists. Subject matter is limited to recent works on the landscape, environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite or the environment of the Sierra. Both representational and non-representational submissions are accepted.
MEDIA: Original artwork may be in any medium. Size is limited to works that can be shipped in containers not exceeding maximum U.P.S. dimensions of 130 inches, length and girth combined. Triptychs or other multi-image pieces (exhibited under one title) should not exceed 48 x 48.”
LIMITS: Each artist is limited to eight entries. No more than two entries from any artist will be included in the exhibit.
DEADLINE: November 10, 2011
NOTIFICATION: Late December
ENTRY FEE: There is a non-refundable entry/handling fee of $15.00 for each entry. Payment must accompany your entry submissions. Your check or money order should be made payable (only in U.S. dollars) to Yosemite Renaissance, Inc. One check may cover several entries from one artist (up to the eight entries allowed per artist).
JURORS: The Board of Directors of Yosemite Renaissance (consisting of artists, curators and administrators) will make the initial selection of works for the exhibition. Cash award-winners will be selected by independent judges to be announced.
AWARDS: At least $4,000 in cash awards will be distributed at the discretion of the judges. Purchase awards may be given as well. A special award of $300 will be given to the best piece inspired by Hetch Hetchy (pictured below) that the jurors select to be included in the exhibit.
