Soho Photo Krappy Kamera® Competition

Our philosophy at Soho Photo is: In the hands of an artist, great photographs can be made with minimal equipment. We will be searching for extraordinary photographs produced with cameras with lousy lenses. Artists are encouraged to explore this medium and let the creative juices flow while shooting and in the darkroom (wet or digital). Remember, it’s the Krappy Kamera Competition – not the Krappy print competition.

View the Prospectus here.

(The Dean of the School of Communications will pay the entry fees for School of Communications students whose entries are approved by the faculty. See Bill Barrett for details.)

Digital Photo Pro magazine (free)

Three copies of the December issue of Digital Photo Pro magazine will go to the first three students who ask Bill for them.

Call for Work: Deadline 24 November 2008

Art Coop is looking for 33 artists to exhibit their work at "Fire Sale," our annual holiday art show. The opening reception for Fire Sale is November 28, from 7 to 11 pm, in our newly renovated 3,000 square foot space.

Artists are invited to submit three works each in any medium or mixed media. The purpose of Art Coop's annual Fire Sale show is to sell your three works exhibited by the end of the opening reception!

In addition to an art tag showing the full retail price, every work will also have a silent auction sheet beside it. This is where potential buyers can bid against each other by each writing down the highest price they'd pay for the work that night. You must be willing to sell at least one of your works at ANY price to the highest bidder at the opening reception. (Your other two works may have any required minimum bid amount you choose to write in on the first bid line of each silent auction sheet.) Having a fire sale silent auction where many of the works will be sold for ANY price will draw lots and lots of art buyers looking for a great deal. Don't forget, the Fire Sale opening reception is the day after Thanksgiving, a prime time for people looking to buy Christmas gifts. At Art Coop's 2007 Fire Sale 73 works (out of 108) were sold.

For works submitted to be hung on the wall, each artist is limited to 6' of horizontal wall space for the three works. Large sculpture on the floor and smaller 3-D work on your pedestals are limited to a 6' by 6' space on the floor.

Art will be exhibited at 2720 North 14th, in the heart of the Old North St. Louis redevelopment area. This is just across the street from Crown Candy Company in a newly-renovated 3,000 square foot space. Any art unsold after the opening reception will still remain on exhibition for bids and sales from November 28 to December 17.

Art Coop never charges a gallery commission on sales of your work, but there is a $25 entry fee per artist (not per work). Exhibition is limited to the first 33 artists accepted.

Deadline for received submissions is November 24. But don’t delay submitting. Submissions will be reviewed as received and accepted or rejected only until we have 33 artists accepted. 9 artist slots are already reserved.

To submit your work for review, send an email to artcoop@live.com with photos of your work attached. Or provide a website address where we can see your work. In your submission please include your phone number(s) and the approximate size of each submitted work.
