The Arts Center of the Capital Region is seeking work for an open call and for possible thematic exhibitions. Visual artists in all media are invited to submit slides for consideration.

Submissions can be of any media, and will be viewed anonymously by a panel of professional artists and curators.

A. Open Call
The Arts Center is interested in reviewing new work in all media - painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video,photography, performance, and mixed media presentations.

B. 2006 Ceramics Regional
Independent curator and critic Thomas Piché, Jr. seeks contemporary clay artists living within a 100-mile radius of The Arts Center of The Capital Region for an exhibition in the center’s Main Gallery. Preference will be given to sculptural
ceramics that are expressively content driven; to forms that may refer to the historical utility of the genre, but in ways that confront the characteristics of function; and to work whose makers view ceramic craft as a starting point and not a final goal. This exhibition is scheduled for Fall 2006.

C. Call for curatorial proposals
Exhibition proposals must include the following:

-A typed curatorial statement of not more than 125
words that includes the concept of the exhibition.
-At least 10 images representative of work being
considered for inclusion in proposed exhibition.
Images should be printed hard copies, slides or
CD-ROM (this category only).
-A current resume or curriculum vitae listing
curatorial experience.
-Current resumes or bios of proposed artists to be
included in exhibition. Indicate any special technical
requirements or gallery preparation.
-A SASE is required for the return of materials.
*The Arts Center hires only curators with previous
experience and does not accept proposals where the
curator is one of the exhibiting artists.
