Call For Art
Create! Magazine Is Thrilled To Invite Visual Artists To Submit Their Work To A Juried International Virtual Exhibition With Gita Joshi.

About Our Guest Curator
Gita Joshi is an independent curator, an award-winning art dealer, and the host of The Curator’s Salon - a podcast and website focussing on the art world with advice for early and mid-career artists.
She has an art history background and trained in curating at Central St Martins before opening her own gallery, Orso Major, in Central London (2013-2016)
Gita has produced artists open studio programs, worked with arts charities, organised open exhibitions, been a juror for art competitions, and curated exhibitions in business spaces as well as within the gallery context.
She works as an artist coach supporting artists to establish their careers and paint their own profitable path.
She has curated over 30 exhibitions and her first virtual exhibition opened in April 2020.
Gita is the author of the bestselling book, Show Your Art - How to build an art career without a Gallery.
She says “There are more artists than galleries could ever manage today. And if you are an artist, you are best positioned to show your art and reach an appreciative audience directly. Artists are the best advocates of their work and need to learn to become their own agents. The idea that you must have a gallery for any kind of success is an outdated one. Sadly this idea keeps artists stuck and unseen, when in fact the tools and resources to exhibit and sell their work is available to them right now.”
www.thecuratorssalon.com

This open call is an opportunity to submit your work for consideration for a curated virtual group show. If chosen, your work will be included in a virtual exhibition through Create! Magazine and promoted to our broad audience of international readers, collectors, and followers.

Description

Bellevue Arts Museum is seeking artists, designers, and makers of all kinds working in the Northwest (AK, BC, ID, MT, OR, and WA) to apply to the BAM Biennial 2021: Architecture & Urban Design (scheduled to open November 2021).

Entrants are invited to take a creative approach to architecture and urban design, investigate questions surrounding equity and the built environment during a pandemic, and to pursue the Biennial as an opportunity to push the boundaries of their vision and skill.

Submissions due through CaFÉ by January 1, 2021

With the Eastside being connected to Seattle through a light rail extension in 2023 and Amazon's HQ2 project in downtown Bellevue, Bellevue Arts Museum—itself a signature and important piece of the architecture of King County—seeks to promote a discussion on the essential role of effective and equitable design in what seems to be an ever-expanding urban environment.

The events of 2020 have underlined that Western society's assumptions around the utility and progression of the city are precisely that: only assumptions. They can be subject to the challenge of a pandemic, imperatives of long-ignored injustice, or the excessive imposition of state power. The upheavals of recent months have raised important questions about the way we think of architecture and urban design. Should sustainability and density be continually reassessed to respond appropriately to the issues of tomorrow? Are we striving to create places to live and work that aims to be harmonious, equitable, and true?

BAM BIENNIAL AWARD
Once the exhibition is mounted, BAM Curatorial staff will review the exhibition and award one recipient with a $1,500 cash prize plus the opportunity for a solo exhibition at Bellevue Arts Museum within two years.

2021 JURORS
Once the application deadline has closed, a panel of five jurors will convene to review entries and select artists to participate in the exhibition.

Benedict Heywood, Executive Director & Chief Curator, Bellevue Arts Museum
Simba Mafundikwa, Architectural Designer, GGLO Design
Christopher Shaw, Engineer/Artist, Design and Creative
S Surface, King Street Station Program Lead, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture

ELIGIBILITY & SUBMISSION MATERIALS
Eligibility will be limited to artists currently residing, working, or studying in the Pacific Northwest region, which for the scope of this exhibition will include Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Montana, and British Columbia. Artists may be of any age and at any level of recognition or stage in their artistic careers. Artists with a range of backgrounds and experience—emerging and established—are strongly encouraged to apply.

Artists will be required to submit the following materials in digital form by the entry submission deadline via the CaFE platform:
• $20 application fee
• 3-20 digital files representing your work. A minimum of three images is required. Depending on the nature of the work, up to three video files and up to five audio files can also be included. The maximum total number of files allowed on any application is 20. Files should represent past work with an emphasis on recently completed projects.

Plus upload each of the following documents:
• Project proposal description up to 500 words
• Up-to-date resume
• Checklist of digital images (see below for detailed information)
• Any supporting documentation, such as drawings or sketches

Proposals may be as loosely or succinctly defined as the artist desires. Artists are encouraged to submit the maximum number of images to show a cohesive body of work.

Please label images with artist’s last name and a sequential number; for example, if your name is John Smith, your images will be labeled “Smith 01,” “Smith 02,” and so on. Please also provide a checklist with images—including title, date, materials, size of the work pictured, and photo credit—for each work.


ABOUT THE BAM BIENNIAL

In 2010, Bellevue Arts Museum launched the BAM Biennial, a juried exhibition which focused on the work of established and emerging Northwest artists, craftspeople, and designers, with an emphasis on new work. Every two years, Bellevue Arts Museum designated a new focus of exploration, be it a specific medium, technique, process, or theme in art, craft, and design. In 2018, it was decided that the fifth edition in the series, BAM Biennial 2018: BAM! Glasstastic, would be the last Biennial to focus on a single given material. After five different media—fiber, clay, wood, metal, and glass—the next five Biennials will instead be examining specific fields and areas of studies within the realm of art, craft, and design.

The 2021 BAM Biennial will kick off this new format—marked by a gap year in the Biennial's schedule—by inviting designers, artists, and makers of all kinds to submit proposals for an exhibition at BAM that interrogates the fields of architecture and urban design.

How to Apply

Submissions due through CaFÉ™ by January 1, 2021. More information about the biennial and frequently asked questions can be found at https://www.bellevuearts.org/about-us/bam-biennial-2021-prospectus

What did 2020 look like for you? How did it feel? How did you respond? How has this year shaped you, your life, and your practice? At IncuArts we ask, “What happened?”

Description

Alone/ Together is a paradox. 2020 has united and divided the world. There are schisms within our culture that are widening. At the same time, people are coming together in mass to protest injustices. Wearing a mask can be seen as a simple gesture of kindness towards others; yet may also also entice fighting. What does it mean to be alone? What does it mean to be together? What does that look like? Have you felt alone? Have we come together? How have you, as an artist reacted to this paradox?

Description

The City of Newcastle, through the Newcastle Arts Council, is commissioning an artist or team of artists to paint a mural for the restroom building at Lake Boren Park located at 13058 SE 84th Way, Newcastle, WA 98056. The mural will be located on the south wall facing the parking lot. This mural will be a welcoming attraction to the park as it is in a very central location and will be a draw to the site. The mural will draw inspiration from its surroundings, incorporating themes depicting the character of the Newcastle community. The final mural design must demonstrate a connection to Newcastle either through the themes of Newcastle history, industry, recreation, and natural environment or through a positive message for the community or through an interactive element. The design should be an attraction to the park and Newcastle.
The mural will be painted on two 4’X8’ rectangle sheets of plywood that will be horizontally mounted on a raised metal wall (see Exhibit 1). The mural should have a design that can be viewed up close as well as from a distance and is easy to repair or replicate in the event of vandalism. As a part of the overall mural design, the artist will create the color scheme and provide it to the City of Newcastle. The mural will be framed, with materials provided by Newcastle Arts Council and will become part of the design. The artist is responsible for primer, paint, sealant, brushes, and any necessary tools which will be paid for out of the implementation budget. Newcastle Arts Council and the City of Newcastle will provide the plywood, framing materials and labor and materials required for installation. The selected artist will work with the City of Newcastle staff for the installation. This project is funded in part by the City of Newcastle with the support of a grant from 4Culture. The commission for the artist or team of artists for this project will be based on project cost estimates and is not to exceed $2,500.

ELIGIBILITY

This opportunity is open to individual artists or artist teams. We are looking for a painter, mural artist, or artist with previous mural experience or ability to complete this project.

SELECTION PROCESS/CRITERIA

Newcastle Arts Council with the assistance of City of Newcastle staff and community members (“Review Committee”) will review artist applications and select three finalists. These finalists will have the opportunity to create a proposal for the site to be presented to the Review Committee. Based on these proposals, the Review Committee will select one artist for the commission. The selected artist or group of artists will have an agreement that includes one level of design review, implementation, and installation of the final work.

Qualifications will be evaluated on the following criteria:
• Exhibited technical proficiency in outdoor mural painting
• Quality and strength of past mural work
• An ability to reflect desired themes in a manner that is fitting for a public audience
