Hi Everyone!

Below, please find a list of calls to artists which may pertain to some or all of you!
Call to Oregon Installation Artists

From: The Arts Center in Corvallis, OR; Deadline: June 1st

Click here for more info.

The Arts Center is commissioning new work for the Art in Rural Storefronts project.

The Arts Center invites artists working in installation art to submit proposals for a new offsite exhibitions program, Art in Rural Storefronts. The program supports risk-taking and non-commercial artists by exhibiting work that would otherwise not be shown in traditional retail/gallery spaces.

Eligibility and Selection Criteria:

The application is open to all Oregon-based visual artists or artist groups. Artists must have an interest in transforming an unused storefront into a site-specific art installation that is relevant to a diverse rural community. Artists with experience working in media that constitute installations/integrated environments will have preference in the selection process.

Applications will be evaluated based on excellence, relevance, feasibility and the degree to which the proposal matches the project's goal to exhibit work that would otherwise not be shown.

Deadline and Exhibition Dates:

June 1, 2012 Deadline for proposals

July 28, 2012 Final Artist Selections Announced

October 2012 Exhibitions Installed (Final Exhibition Dates TBA)
