CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Pop Up Billboard Exhibit

WELL-WORN PATHS

I get lots of requests for restaurant recommendations. And, I think sometimes people are disappointed when I give them the stereotypical answers, but famous places are famous for a reason. For example, I would never visit New Orleans without a trip to the Cafe du Monde for beignets and cafe au lait or to Central Grocery for a muffuletta. If you “pop-in” to this next show opening, make sure to check out my favorites. Is it lunch yet?

Check out this Call for Submissions from Art Below for the Pop-Up Billboard Exhibit and Gallery Orange co-exhibit in New Orleans. The fees are huge, but you can’t ask for better exposure. Take a look…

Billboard Exhibit

Art Below ‘Pop Up’ is taking place in New Orleans for the month of February 2012, specially planned to co-inside with the legendary Mardi Gras which every year bring thousands of fun loving visitors to the city to join the celebrations.

As an exhibitor you will be allocated with your own billboard to display your selected artwork for 4 weeks starting January 31, 2012.

Running alongside the billboard display you will also be invited to exhibit your selected artwork as part of the Art Below ‘Pop Up’ Group Show for the month of February at Gallery Orange located in the world famous French Quarter.

There will be 2 private view events at Gallery Orange on February 4th and 18th, 2012.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists.

All media that can be adequately
represented as a static
two-dimensional 10’x20′ billboard.

DEADLINE:
January 9, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing after January 9th until spots are filled.

ENTRY FEE: The fee is £750 (approximately $1175 USD).

Editor’s note: I know this is a HUGE expense for many of you; however, if you look into the price of a billboard along any interstate (never mind this one is in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras) and you will quickly realize that this is A DEAL…IF AND ONLY IF this is the appropriate step in your career at this particular time.

JUROR: The jury process is unclear. However, my knowledge of Art Below indicates you probably can’t simply buy your way into this one.

SALES: This is a 50/50 split with Gallery Orange/Art Below for prints of your billboard image as well as original work included at the gallery portion of the exhibit.
