TO THE MOON

I loved drinking Tang as a kid, did you?  Formulated by General Foods Corporation, it was first marketed in powdered form in 1959.   But sales of  the powdered breakfast drink were poor until NASA used Tang on John Glenn’s Mercury flight, and subsequent Gemini missions.  If space flight sold an orange-flavored, maybe this next call for scientific exploration can sell you artwork.  Time for an experiment of your very own…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mystery of Man

Mystery of Man is a multi-media exhibition open to all artists.  Mystery of Man seeks to revive the classicist notion that both art and science are mediums of understanding. Throughout history, societies have employed both mediums to negotiate ideas of self and the meaning of existence. Through this lens, works selected will address one or many of the following questions:

-Where or what did we come from?
-Why are we here?
-What is reality?
-How do we interpret the self?

Works will be juried based on their relevance to the above questions and the quality of their craftsmanship.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists.

MEDIA:  Multi-Media. *Editor’s Note:  I think they meant multiple media or all-media because there are no guidelines that indicate true multi-media as a requirement.

DEADLINE:
January 11, 2012

NOTIFICATION:  Febuary 7, 2012

ENTRY FEE:  $35 for up to 3 works; additional entries are $10 each.

JURORS:  As Executive Director of OVAC since 1999, Julia Kirt has worked to create resources for rural, urban, emerging and experienced artists and transform Oklahoma’s valuation of artists.  She was honored as the “Emerging Leader” by the Americans for the Arts in 2008 and participated in the 2009 Leadership Institute organized by the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation.  Kirt completed an MA in Art History at the University of Oklahoma and earned a BA in Communication Studies from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN.

Kelly Foshee received her MFA from the University of Tulsa in 2002.  Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the country.  For many years, she has served as a teaching artist for the Philbrook Museum of Art, as well as an adjunct instructor of printmaking at the University of Tulsa.  She currently works as the studio art and art history instructor for the Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences.
