Spring Quarterly Call for Artists!

CALL FOR ENTRY, All Mediums, AU(STL) Spring Quarterly Submissions Due March 6th.

Attention artists and creative catalysts. It’s that time again and AU(STL) is looking for local talent to feature in our 2010 Spring Quarterly April 24th!  In addition to participating in this AU event, 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 professional development, and the invitation to join a community of people seeking to “create a St. Louis that ought to be.”

If you are an artist, or know one who would be interested in this opportunity, please send the following submission requirements to AU Submissions (submissions@artundergroundstl.org) no later than Saturday, March 6th. 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 Short Artist Statement – 50 words or less. This may describe the artistʼs background, materials, medium, and stylistic distinctions. This will be included in the slides for display at the event and used for marketing.
• Digital Samples (with brief descriptions if necessary)- 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.  Video clips should be 5min or less.
• Acknowledgement of Fees – To curb frivolous applications and drop-outs, a very modest $25 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 Quarterly.

If you are unfamiliar with the Quarterly, you can find out all about the concept here, the description of our 2010 Winter Quarterly here, and some great pictures from that evening here.
