SHOW INTENTIONS: The Wonder of Water: Exploring Our Place in the Hydrosphere
WATER: it is essential to our survival. We are born from water, are mostly made of water, and live surrounded by water. It sustains us, and perhaps defines us. As we observe 2024's World Earth Day, we invite you to to express your unique experiences and perspectives on water, explore your personal relationship with water, and your sense of place in the wonderous watery HYDROSPHERE.
Please see our website for submission guidelines and link: https://metchosinartpod.ca
You may also notice that our goal for 2024, is to enhance our visual art exhibits by asking our artists to suggest music pairings that inspired their work, or speak to it in some way. We create the playlists on YouTube and make them available to the public via a link on our website. If you are submitting your artwork, please also mull over some “watery” music that might accompany your piece!
The juror for this show is ceramic sculptor and installation artist, Samantha Dickie. Check out her lovely work: on Instagram: www.instagram.com/samantha.dic... or Website: www.samanthadickie.com
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
For this show we are adding an audio component and are creating a playlist of music that is linked to the pieces on display. Your participation is entirely optional and the juror will not see your choice nor description of why you chose it. The playlist will be available through regular music-streaming platforms and links are provided on our website.
The artist statement that is on your personal data page (email, phone number..) is just a short information statement about you as an artist. This section only allows 300 characters. It is designed to say something about yourself as an artist. There is an opportunity in the submissions form to talk about what inspired you to create your individual submissions.
For any sections that allow longer text we suggest doing it in a word document then cut and paste into ArtCall as the website times out in one hour and it's surprising how fast that can happen! Alternatively, be sure to update the submission frequently.
We charge a $10 submission fee per art piece. Artists are allowed to submit up to 3 pieces. If you are accepted to the show, there is an additional $10.00 per piece hanging fee which ArtCall calls the 'booth' fee, and which you will have to pay to be entered properly in the show. Please use the drop down menu and request a 1x1x1 booth on the submission form.
We charge 30% commission on art pieces sold.
There will be a Show Opening Celebration on Saturday April 13th from 2pm - 4pm which is open to all, and especially to participating artists who are invited to briefly speak about their pieces in the show.
Here is a quick tutorial for you to watch to help you with the submission process.
