PROSPECTUS

NEXUS/foundation for today’s art is seeking artist’s work in all mediums for “Yummy”
scheduled for December 5, 2007 – January 27, 2008.

Just as food brings people together, this exhibition seeks to promote collaboration by inviting individuals, artists, scholars, performers, musicians and local organizations to creatively address the role of food in our lives. The exhibition highlights American cultural and social relationship to food, while addressing the impact food has on our belief systems.

The artwork in Yummy will address two major topics: cultural food traditions as related to family customs and social norms; and the influence of the entertainment and advertising industry has on our eating habits. The curators will be selecting artists who represent in their work the association of food to social events such as holidays, hunting/gathering and religion as well as larger societal themes including the connection of food options to class and income, eating disorders and gender roles associated with cooking and the kitchen. Artists whose work speaks to the effect the media has on eating habits and self-image, the representation of food in the media as well as the advertisement and packaging of food will also be considered for inclusion. These themes will be further explored through our extended programming series.

Notification: No later than Saturday, September 8, 2007

Mountain Mist®/Leggett & Platt, Incorporated and the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln announce the Crafting A Better Planet™ Quilt Competition. Quilted entries are sought that combine environmental and ecological themes and images with Eco-Friendly™/ Green products and techniques. All entrants will win the satisfaction of creating an heirloom with a global purpose.

Quilts entered in the Crafting A Better Planet™ Quilt Competition must be made of all natural materials, including EcoCraft™ batting by Mountain Mist®. Entrants must choose EcoCraft™ Eco-Friendly™ Batting 100% PLA or Eco-Friendly™ Batting Blend 50% PLA 50% Cotton.

Mountain Mist®/ Leggett & Platt, Incorporated and the International Quilt Study Center have both given high priority to Eco-Friendly™/ Green initiatives:

Mountain Mist®/Leggett & Platt, Incorporated is marketing EcoCraft™: the world's first man-made, environmentally friendly, naturally based craft fiber product. The unique brand draws deeply from American heartland traditions, using renewable resources fresh from American cornfields. Creation of EcoCraft™ fiber products begins with Ingeo™ fiber, (trademarked owned by Natureworks,LLC) generically known as PLA, a polymer made from lactic acid, a natural product made from fermentable sugars found in plants, specifically corn. This process is revolutionary in the textile and fiber industry and is patented by Nature Works, LLC, the Mountain Mist®/ Leggett & Platt fiber partner.

The International Quilt Study Center will move into a new "green" home in early 2008. The new museum, designed by the New York firm of Robert A.M. Stern Architects, will be the first building on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus designed to meet the requirements for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. The environmentally sustainable structure will house the center's world class collection of more than 2300 quilts.

European Art Quilts V

Deadline: 1 March 2008


European Art Quilts V - August 2008



EAQ IV is still touring successfully throughout Europe and the USA but the European Art Quilt Foundation is already organizing its next juried exhibition: European Art Quilts V.

The exhibition will start at the Festival of Quilts, Birmingham, UK, August 2008, and will then travel throughout Europe.

The works will be returned to the artists at the latest end 2009.

Entries

- Artists living in Europe may apply for participation. Place of residence on 1 March 2008 will determine the country with which the artist will be associated.

- The size of the work should be minimally 80 x 80 cm (or min. perimeter 320 cm) and maximally 180 x 180 cm (or max. perimeter 720 cm), and be provided, on the back, with a sleeve for hanging the work. There are no restrictions regarding the use of materials. It is, however, important that the pieces show the historical characteristics of a quilt: a construction of two layers, stitched together with a filler in between.

- The quilt must have a personal identity and may not be a translation or a copy of another work of art.


Entry form

An entry form is needed for each work . Each entry form is to be accompanied by:

- a small (max. A4 ) sample of a piece of the quilt; sample will be returned

(resembling part of the work, not a collection of materials!)

- A4 envelope with name and address

- 15 Euros entry fee, non-refundable, to be paid in cash, by bank transfer or credit card


NOTE : there will be an extra fee of 20 euros when the work is accepted !!!!


Jurors and Judging

Jurors will be announced on the EAQF website in due course: www.europeanartquilt.com

The quilts will be judged on originality, personal expression and artistic quality.

The first judging will be based on the digital, unedited photos and the sample. Final decisions will be made on seeing the real work. Primarily selected work must be up to the standard of the EAQF for final selection.

Only one work per artist will be selected.

Aim is to have entries selected from as many different European countries as possible.

The judges’ decisions are final and not open to discussion.


Catalogue

A full colour catalogue (in English, French, German and Dutch) showing each quilt in full and with a detail will be published to accompany the exhibition.

Artists in the exhibition will receive one complimentary copy.


Transport

The artists are to send their work to Molenschot at their own expense. The EAQF will not take care of any customs charges.

The organisation will take care of all transportation costs between the participating museums and of returning the work to the artists.


Insurance

The organisation will arrange all-risk insurance, subject to the usual exclusions, for the works for the complete length of the tour. Damage resulting from the construction and/or condition of the material used will not be covered, nor will damage occurred during transport as a result of inadequate packing.

New Visions Gallery

Deadline: Unspecified


New Visions Gallery is accepting proposals for 2008-2009. We are always interested in seeing the work of new artists. Artists may submit proposals as individuals, as a group, or several artists may submit a joint proposal such as an exhibit including their work organized around a unifying theme. Original works in all media are considered. We mount very few one-person exhibits. Curatorial staff may group your work with other artists working in compatible themes or styles.

Work considered for exhibit will be previewed by the exhibition committee. Therefore it is best to submit slides.

In general, New Visions pays for exhibit costs such as printing, mailings, receptions, programs, and insurance while in our care. The artist is responsible for incoming shipping, the gallery outgoing shipping. Hand delivered work must also be picked up unless shipping materials are provided.

We are currently seeking art submissions to be considered for exhibition during our 2007-2008 theater season which runs from September though August.

Exhibits are needed for the Jean Bulicek Galleria in the Beck Center’s Main lobby, the Galleria located in the waiting area of the center’s Music Armory Building, and for other possible exhibit areas. Exhibits typically last for four to six weeks, and are promoted to the community through press releases, website posting, newsletters, postcards, and other means of communication.

Rules for exhibiting at Beck Center:

1) We accept all media that can be publicly displayed

2) Artists are responsible for installing and dismantling their exhibits

3) All works must be properly matted, framed, and include appropriate hanging apparatus

4) All works must be of appropriate subject matter as this is a center frequented by families. We have the right to not accept inappropriate artwork. No nudes as subject matter are accepted for exhibit.

5) Exhibited works may be offered for sale. The Beck Center collects 20% commission on works sold in its galleries, and all works must remain on display until the close of the exhibit.


Submissions should include the following:

5 – 10 images of your work. Digital files are preferred, either by disc or by electronic transfer. Slides are also acceptable. (no nudes as subject matter, please)

An artist statement

A bio sheet or resume which details your exhibit history

Note: there is no fee for submitting your work. Images submitted for exhibit will not be returned to the artist, but will be treated as proprietary and confidential.

Selection Process

A panel of artists, instructors, and administrators will review submissions and build a gallery schedule for the entire season. Artists will be notified of Beck Center’s intent to exhibit their work by August 1, 2007

Please send your submissions to:
