Call for Art Work:
This annual show is open to everyone, artists & non-artists to show their art.
Everyone has feelings to express, but they don’t always know what to do with strong, sometimes over whelming emotions. Putting these feelings into artwork is often the answer. Impact Artists’ Gallery features speakers that will lead discussions and workshops that educate, inspire & promote Art and healing & show and tell how the arts help mental and physical health at free workshops in February 2009.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: The art should express the feelings, emotions, or the moods felt in producing it or evoke it in the viewer. This can be a strong expression or as simple as a feeling of relaxation.
All media: painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, sculpture, fiber, photography, poetry, journals, bookmaking & video will be included. All 2-d (to be hung on wall) must have a wire or hook on the back for proper hanging to be accepted. Please limit the size of your work to 5′ wide 7′ high. For large or heavy art, please be there to assist in the hanging or display or the art. Note, Impact has 1 VCR and TV, and no DVD player. If you need one to display work please call to arrange its use or bring one.
Please bring your artwork to the gallery January 21,22, 23 or by appointment. Call first, as January hours vary. Work will be screened, no slides required & no fee to show your art, but there is a commission if it is sold.
Up to 4 pieces will be accepted by each person, determined by the size of the art and the total number submitted to the gallery.
