Winter Quarterly Call for Artists

Calling all artists and creative catalysts!  It’s that time again and AU(STL) is looking for local talent to feature in our 2010 Winter Quarterly on January 23rd!  In addition to getting valuable exposure and having the opportunity to sell your work for absolutely zero commission, being a Featured Artist qualifies you to be sponsored by Art Underground on events you do in the St. Louis area.  This includes assistance with advertising and PR, networking and educational opportunities, and the invitation to join a community of people seeking to “create a St. Louis that ought to be.”

AU has grown by leaps and bounds in our first year, and we are excited to unleash new creative works on St. Louis with this Winter’s Quarterly.  We’ve attracted the interest of amazing hosts and donors to make it a show you won’t want to miss!  If you are an artist, or know one who would be interested in this opportunity, please send the following submission requirements to Brad Edwards (brad@artundergroundstl.org) no later than Sunday, December 27th. Upon receipt of your application, we will send you further details on the event.

Submission Requirements

• Full Name- Please format the subject line of your email as follows: “Full Name (Submission)”
• Bio and Work Description – 50 words or less. This may describe the artistʼs background, materials, and stylistic distinctions. This will be included in the slides for display at the event and used for marketing.
• Digital Samples - This depends significantly on the type of work, but some kind of example needs to be submitted for application and (if accepted) marketing. The artist must submit pictures or samples of all works they intend to display.
  
• Acknowledgement of Fees – To curb frivolous applications and drop-outs, a very modest $20 fee will be charged to accepted artists and go towards defraying the cost of food and drinks.  This will be the only fee, and we will never charge a commission on any sales made at an Art Underground event.
