OPEN CALL: Space 237

Posted on December 6, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

VALUE MENU

I like fast food as much as the next girl. But too much of anything can be bad for you. And just sometimes, I would rather the question be “chicken or fish?” instead of “do you want fries with that?” Open calls are a little more like table service while themed shows are a bit like going through the drive-thru–I love them both. Check out this next call …chicken or fish?

Check out this Open Call for Artists Proposals for the upcoming season at Space 237. The entry fee is only $20 for a full year of shows, and they consider ALL media, even performance art. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!

OPEN CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Space 237

Space 237 holds two large exhibitions annually, filling both of their gallery spaces, as well as several smaller featured exhibitions, exclusively in their first floor gallery, throughout the remainder of the year.

For their large exhibition receptions, Space 237 often feature performance artists or unique presentations for the opening evening festivities.

DEADLINE: January 15, 2011

NOTIFICATION: When reviewing random submissions sent throughout the year please allow 30-45 days for reply.

ENTRY FEE:
$20 entry fee, payable to Space 237
(for the whole year of shows)

SALES: The gallery takes a 40% commission. All work must be for sale.

MEDIA: All media welcomed.

ELIGIBILITY: Must be 18 yrs or older.

ABOUT SPACE 237: Space 237 is a place where both artist and art enthusiast can interact and have an impact on what they may ultimately become, while reflecting upon the times and attitudes, causes and concerns that often require the peculiarly sensitive eye of the artist to synthesize and define in ways foreign to most of us.

Space 237 is creating an art environment dedicated to all forms of expression unfettered by concerns of acceptability to those who would otherwise feel constrained to prefer only the viewer’s status quo. A place where art, music, “performance”, film and video will enhance and expand the viewer’s consciousness with sights and sounds resulting in a total immersion in the many expressions of the creative process. Space 237 exists to encourage the next generation aspiring artists.

CALL for Submissions: The Soap Factory

Posted on October 23, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

This is possibly the first time I have ever reposted a Call, but the opportunity is really that good. Don’t miss this one folks! Click on their logo below to see “What Remains,” a 2010 show curated solely from their open submission process.

MONEY FOR DESSERT

Most professional artists rely on art sales for income. Most emerging artists hope for art sales for extra income for supplies. Many prestigious art shows come with publicity and great printed materials, but lots of artists never get to go to out-of-town openings due to financial constraints. So, how do you afford to produce work, submit work, get to attend the openings and still afford to eat dessert?

Maybe this Call for Submissions from The Soap Factory could be the answer to your art entry problems. The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: The Soap Factory

The Soap Factory exhibits work in its galleries throughout the year. Exhibitions curated from submissions are typically comprised of 8-10 artists. The Soap Factory is a 120-year old ex-industrial warehouse on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.

They have no climate control, air conditioning or permanent heating system; please bear this in mind when submitting your work. Projects by individual artists that propose to use the entire 12,000 sq feet of gallery space are always encouraged.

They are particularly interested in proposals conceived specifically for The Soap Factory galleries. (So do your homework!) Their programming is unique in that they select only a small proportion of the artists they exhibit from their pool of submissions. They commonly receive 400 artist submissions per season.

DEADLINE: November 30, 2010. They do NOT accept e-mailed submissions so this is a POSTMARK deadline.

REVIEW DATES: Submissions are reviewed for exhibition between May 1st and October 31st.

NOTIFICATION: March 2011

They may keep your submission on file for up to 8 months. Do not call or email to check on your submission. The Soap Factory does not return work. Please only send materials that you do not need to be returned.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Times Square

Posted on June 30, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LOOKING FOR
AN ART SHOW IN NYC?

When you think about your dream gallery show, how many of you think of New York City? I think of Atlanta, Phoenix, Los Angeles, London…and New York City, of course. Tell me–What is more New York City than Times Square itself? Thanks to the Times Square Alliance, you may just have an opportunity to see your work in Times Square.

Check out this
Call for Submissions
from the Times Square Alliance:

Times Square is one of the world’s most renowned urban destinations. Its dazzling lights and teeming crowds offer an overwhelming sense of possibility. Having helped to make Times Square clean and safe, the Times Square Alliance is now working to nurture the creativity, energy and edge that are the essence of Times Square.

For that reason, they are working with a variety of arts-based curatorial groups to bring public art projects to Times Square. Times Square Arts, their pilot public art program, will incorporate diverse art elements into Times Square’s streetscape, thereby expressing the area’s uniqueness and enriching the pedestrian experience.

The Times Square Alliance seeks letters of interest from arts organizations and artists across disciplines to present contemporary art projects and art events in the public spaces in and around Times Square.

In a one-page letter, applicants should propose a single project or series for anytime between September 2010 and December 2012.

Artists and arts organizations are encouraged to propose projects that address the unique nature and rich history of Times Square. Projects should be able to have an impact in a space defined by dynamic activity and continuous, competing visual stimuli.

Organizations, curators and artists are encouraged to consider how their projects will change or effect the space during the presentation and how the 350,000 people here every day (as well millions of virtual viewers) will interact with the presentation.

Public spaces to consider as locations for art projects and events include the new Broadway plazas and Duffy Square in Times Square and other public and private spaces throughout the Theater District, 42nd Street and 8th Avenue.

Through its Public Art Program, the Times Square Alliance brings temporary high-quality, cutting-edge art and performance to Times Square’s public spaces, so that it is known globally as a place where ordinary people encounter authentic, ever-changing urban art in multiple forms and media.
