Some days are meant for meatloaf no matter how much you love lamb chops.  Vegetarian?  Okay, some days are meant for frozen peas no matter how much you love edamame.  A change in routine is necessary to make you appreciate what you have.  This next Call offers a HUGE change of pace for some of you, not so much for others.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Scriptapalooza.  Yep, it is a call for something other than visual arts.  So many of you have multiple talents that I thought we would take a short detour from our regular programming to let you stretch your creative genius in an alternate direction.  It can’t hurt…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Exaggerate

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn How to Cook up an artshow of your own!I love a theme…we have taco night at my house, no kidding. 

Art is no different.  Give me a theme anyday.  It is a great way to jumpstart your creative brain while you’re working on a full show of work.  And sometimes, it can be the beginning of a whole new series of work.

I have found a GREAT SHOW for you, but you really have to hurry…the deadline is coming fast!

Exaggerate! Art & Tall Tales!I LOVE the idea of the Exaggerate! show from The Arts Guild of Old Forge (NY). 

Here’s the call for visual art
AND writing:

Artists lay it on thick in this open exhibit of Amazing two and three dimensional artwork, and larger-than-life written works.

The BIG idea is to exaggerate!

This is an out of proportion, overblown, not entirely accurate exhibition of photography, painting, pastel, graphics, drawing, fiber, sculpture, and ceramics as well as short written works: poetry and tall tales, all themed around the idea of exaggeration.

All work will be displayed and judged for awards.  (All-hung shows are great resume builders!)

It is a chance for artists to express feelings rather than facts, and it will transport viewers beyond the bounds of reason.

“Explore our fascination with what we know is too good to be true. Exaggerate! is the greatest exhibition you will ever see!”

Visual Art

All two-dimensional artwork must be suitably framed for exhibition with hook eyes and wire attached. No alligator frame hangers.

Three-dimensional art must be complete and moveable. There are no size restrictions. It you would like the opportunity to have the work you plan to submit featured on exhibition publicity pieces please email a high quality image of your work for consideration to jpritchard@artscenteroldforge.org with the subject line: Exaggerate! Artwork.

Learn more about the Exaggerate! exhibitTall Tales & Poetry

Written submissions should not exceed 1000 words. Tall tale and poetry submissions will be integrated into the exhibition in a visual manner as well as displayed in readers copy books within the Arts Center.

Written works should be submitted twice. Electronically to be judged, as well as framed for display.

Framed Submission

Writers are welcome to be creative with how they display their words and are allowed to incorporate visual elements, although framing is the only mandatory display requirement. Framed works for display should arrive at the Arts Center/Old Forge with your entry form and entry fee.

Digital Submission

Digital submissions can be emailed or sent on a CD. If necessary they may be typed and mailed. These are for the Juror to read and select from based on each work’s literary merit. They do not need to be decorative or formatted in any particular way. The submission deadline for this copy of your writing is due April 26, 2010.

• Digital submissions should not be accompanied by entry forms and payment (although this is necessary for the framed portion of written submissions).

•Emailed entries should include “Exaggerate submission”in the subject line. Send to Linda Weal, the Exhibition Coordinator, at lweal@artscenteroldforge.org.
