The only thing I know about football is tailgating food & Super Bowl party appetizers.  But somehow, I ended up with dozens and dozens of Facebook friends that are seemingly obsessed.  Every Sunday, my news feed fills with ALL-CAPS exclamations of joy, disbelief and frequent devastation over this game.  I don’t get it, but I do know what they eat.  In the meantime, apparently there are galleries where they like the game too.  Maybe this one is for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Barsky Gallery (Hoboken, NJ) for Art’s Salute to Football.  There’s no entry fee, but the commission is 50%.  If it doesn’t sell, you may have the perfect gift for the football fiend in your family.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Football

Barsky Gallery will be showcasing “Art’s Salute to Football”, an exhibit solely dedicated to football sculptures: Full-size footballs re-imagined by established and emerging artists. The exhibit is set to debut on Saturday, Jan 25th and run through Saturday, Feb 8th.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All media that can be applied to a full-size football creating a football sculpture.

DEADLINE:  Complete works must be received in the gallery no later than Monday, January 20th.  Editor’s Note:  Don’t shoot the messenger.  I promise I just received the Call.  BTW, this is a great way to wile away the hours trapped inside during these sub-zero temperatures that many of us are enduring.

ENTRY FEE:  None, but you do have to buy a full-size football. Another note: You DON’T have to buy the football from the gallery–although they do have them available.

AWARDS:  A panel of judges will select 3 pieces based on criteria such as artistic merit, workmanship, originality and creativity to be exhibited in the Barsky Gallery Booth at the Spring Affordable Art Fair in NYC.

SALES:  If sold, the artist’s compensation is 50% of the selling price.
