Artist Prospectus
Artists working in two and three-dimensional media are invited to submit slides or photos of their work for consideration for exhibition in the Fifth-annual Landscapes for Landsake Art Exhibition.
The sale benefits the Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA), a non-profit land trust conserving land in Washington and northern Rensselaer counties.
The subject is landscapes: it can be traditional or interpretative and innovative but should draw inspiration from the landscape and the rolling farmland of northeastern New York, particularly the Washington County region.
Jury Process
A curatorial team will review submitted materials. The criteria for selection are in two main areas:
1) the artist’s success in reflecting the goals of land conservancy, drawing inspiration from the landscape and farmland typical of Washington County, New York, and
2) artistic excellence. Artists selected to participate in Landscapes for Landsake will be notified by mail on or before June 23, 2006.
After acceptance the event curator may arrange a studio visit to some artists.
