JACK'S ART SHOW: CALL FOR ENTRIES

Jack the Ripper cordially invites you to submit artwork for his 120th Anniversary Art Show and Party. He is looking for art in all media and styles. Don't limit your thinking to just pumpkins and black cats. Jack is open to anything that's dark, moody, surreal, goth, weird, strange, bizarre, unusual, darkly humorous, or fitting in any way for a Halloween show.

Jack's Halloween Art Show and Party is a one night event. In addition to fantastic art, there will be food, entertainment and a cash bar. We are also encouraging people to come in costume. It is a Halloween party after all. Here's the show details:

Saturday, October 18, 2008. 7pm-1am. Admission $2.00.

You can also email Jack with questions at jacksartshow@gmail.com

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Deadline for submissions is October 1, 2008.

• Each artist may submit up to 4 pieces.
• All submitted images must be jpegs. Send all entries in one email if possible to jacksartshow@gmail.com. The files should not be bigger than 500kb.
• Files names should have the last name of the artist and then the name of the piece, for example: williams_mynightmare.jpg
• Only one image will be needed for flat art. You may send two shots of 3-D work if needed.
• Your email should also include the following info: Your name, address, phone number, email. We also need the number of pieces submitted, name of each piece, medium, size and price.
• There is no cost just to submit. If your work is accepted, there will be a $20 entry fee (per artist, not per piece). Payable in cash only at time of drop-off.
• All accepted art must be ready for proper display. This means flat art should be framed with a wire across the back. No sawtooth hangers or other forms of hanging will be accepted...period! We are not going to pin or tape-up work either. If your work is three-dimensional and requires a base or pedestal, you will need to provide this yourself.
• Any work deemed too difficult to install will not be accepted. For example, we cannot suspend work from the ceiling.
• All accepted work will need to be dropped off and picked up in person on the designated dates. We cannot accept shipped artwork.
• Jack will not handle art sales and will not take any commissions. Each artist is responsible for handling their own sales and they will keep whatever they make. We will make every effort to connect interested buyers with the artist. If the event is crowded, this may be tricky. We will at least take down buyer info to pass along to the artist as soon as possible.
• You will be notified by email or phone no later than October 5, 2008 about any accepted works.
