CALL FOR REJECTED ARTISTS: THE SALON EXHIBITION
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 17
The Dubuque Area Arts Collective is looking for artists for its fourth annual Salon Exhibition, which will feature artists rejected by any juried exhibitions in the Dubuque area, in the tradition of the Paris Salon des Refusés of 1863. The exhibition will be held at the DAAC Gallery, 902 Main St. in Dubuque, featuring 4200 sq. ft. of gallery space.
Exhibit will showcase the works of local and regional artists who have not been accepted into local juried exhibitions, including VOICES, the DuMA Biannual, and any other exhibits in the Dubuque area. Over the past three years, the Salon has given artists a second chance to present their work to the community, and has highlighted the vast growth of Dubuque’s up-and-coming art scene. The Salon was initiated in 2012 to promote and empower both emerging and experienced artists, and create new opportunities and wider exposure for participating artists. Exhibit will open at the end of August or the beginning of September and will close with the Fall Into Art Gallery Tour in October.
ELIGIBILITY:
Artists who applied and were not accepted into VOICES, the DuMA biannual exhibit, or any other local exhibits/galleries are eligible. All types of work encouraged, including, but not limited to, 2D and 3D art, video and multimedia, performance art and installations. Submitted works by eligible artists are not required to be the pieces rejected by other exhibitions.
TO PARTICIPATE:
All artists who qualify will be accepted. To be part of the exhibition, email [email protected] by August 17. Include your contact information and your artist statement or a small description of the process or the intent of your work. Attach digital images of each piece (images must be of good resolution). Please state whether you will be hand-delivering or shipping your work. Artists are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible to guarantee space in the exhibit.
For each piece submitted, please include: title, media, size, and price. Images must be attached to email and saved with tittle and last name of artist.
ART Drop off: All work must arrive by August 21
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, September 5th at the Dubuque Area Arts Collective (902 Main St, Dubuque IA)
