Root Division - Open Call
OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS:
UNDER 100 Exhibition/Art Sale & Live Screen Printing Event** at ROOT
DIVISION
Exhibition Dates: June 11 - 21, 2008
Opening Reception/ Screen Printing Event: Saturday, June 14, 7-10 p.m.
Deadline for submission: Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Root Division invites artists working in all genres to submit work for
an exhibition and sale titled Under 100. The purpose of this
exhibition is to make local art by emerging artists accessible and
available to the public for under $100. We seek to demystify the
experience of buying and selling art.
This is a great opportunity for artists to present multiple works of a
smaller format. Prints, drawings, collage, small paintings, found
objects, photographs and sculpture will all be considered. Works
thematically linked to ideas of currency are also encouraged but not
required.
In our curatorial process we will be looking for works that are “buyer
friendly,” meaning work that can be installed, de-installed, and taken
out the door with ease. Artists will receive 70% of all art sales and
do not have to be present to sell work.
** We specifically invite screen print artists to submit designs to be
screened live by the artist on-site during the opening. Selected
Screen Print Artists will receive a stipend to offset the cost of time
and materials. Artists selected MUST be available to be onsite from
5-11 pm on June 14.
Eligibility Requirements
Artists must be living and/or working in the SF Bay Area.
Artwork submitted for review (or work very similar in nature to that
submitted) must
be available for listed exhibition dates.
All art must be available for sale and must be priced under $100.
