Call for Art: 2010 Summer Quarterly

CALL FOR ENTRY, All Mediums, AU(STL) Summer Quarterly Submissions Due by 11:59PM on June 26th.

Attention artists and creative catalysts. It’s that time again and AU(STL) is looking for local talent to feature in our 2010 Summer Quarterly July 31st!  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.”

For this Quarterly, we are especially looking for larger pieces in any visual medium.  We will have lots of space and would love to take advantage of every inch! Jump on this one fast, as we already have a few artists lined up…

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, June 26th. Upon receipt of your application, we will send you further details on the event.

[SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS]
If we do not receive complete information for the following categories, your submission will not be considered. Feel free to simply copy/paste this format and replace the descriptions with your information.

• Full Name
• Contact Information
  • Email Address
  • Physical Address
  • Daytime Phone Number
• Bio and Work Description – 50 words or less. This may describe the artist’s background, materials, and stylistic distinctions. This will be included in the slides for display at the event.
• 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.  Pictures, videos, writing samples, etc. must be submitted with Bio and Work Descriptions. Also include the following information with each sample. This information will be plugged into AU(STL) labels for exhibiting your work:
  • Title
  • Size/dimension
  • Value/cost (optional)
• 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 anything exhibited at an Art Underground Quarterly.  Simply include the statement, “I acknowledge the $25 Participation Fee” in your submission and that will suffice.
