Call for Artwork: information for artists and entry form
The Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine & Performing Arts is teaming up with OPIRG-Brock to host a unique and exciting art sale. This event takes place December 10, 2010, and will be held simultaneously at two locations in downtown St. Catharines: Pan Café and the OPIRG InfoShop.
Starting at 7:30 pm, there will be food, drinks, performances and, of course, art for sale! Together we will be holding a silent auction of original artwork made by faculty, staff, students, community members and alumni from the Department of Visual Arts at Brock. Please consider contributing artwork to this event! This is a terrific opportunity for members of the community to see and buy your work.
Proceeds from the sale will be used to fund scholarships in the Department of Visual Arts as well as to fund programs organized through the OPIRG InfoShop in downtown St. Catharines.
Artists submitting work will have a choice of how they will be compensated. They may choose to have a tax receipt issued for the full value of their work (100% of the sale price will go to fund Visual Arts scholarships) or they may choose to receive 50% of the sale price (with the other 50% going towards OPIRG programs).
We are accepting works of any media. All works must be framed and / or fully stable and ready to hang on a wall or stand on a surface. Works must be ready to be carried away by a successful bidder. Keep in mind that smaller works allow us more flexibility in hanging in either venue and may encourage purchase. We cannot store artworks after the sale is over, nor can we deliver work. Works that do not sell will be kept for pickup, by arrangement.
For more information please contact any of the pARTners for Change organizers: Lesley Bell [labell@brocku.ca], Keri Cronin [keri.cronin@brocku.ca], Duncan MacDonald [dmacdonald@brocku.ca] or Lisa Kretz [opirgbu@gmail.com]
Please bring artwork to either of the two locations on Wednesday, December 1st, 2010. If you cannot make that date, let us know. We need time to set up each location before the 10th. It is also important to print off and have filled out a copy of the attached form for EACH work you submit (thanks!).
