Call for Work: Deadline 2 November 2008
$50 Dollar Show
The Soulard Art Market and Contemporary Art Gallery is calling for submissions to $50 Dollar Show, a juried exhibition of artists that is open in subject matter.
All works will be priced at a maximum of $50.00. We will advertise this show in a fashion which will attract holiday shoppers. Artists will not be limited in the amount of their works, we are encouraging artists who have several items in this price range, show curators will decide as fairly as possible how much space each artist will have for display. For example, a jewelry artist with a small display table may equal in space that a photographer would have with 6 wall hanging pieces.
We are inviting artists to spend time in the gallery each Friday night and Saturdays while the show runs with the idea that between their advertising combined with ours we will create an atmosphere which will attract a holiday shopping crowd who appreciates art at its highest level, which is meant to be shared and enjoyed by all. In addition to our gallery, sidewalk area as well as garden area will be available for weekends only.
The Exhibition runs from November 13th - December 25th, 2008. Artists will not be expected
to fulfill this 6 week period, in contrast the curators of this show hope to revolve artists and work with their busy schedules. We are looking to represent over 50 artists in our Contemporary Art Gallery, exhibiting with our 14 resident artists.
