That building is now home for the KWAC and displays works by the 60 plus local members. The first show was held on the sidewalk on Front Street, near the current gallery and artists used clothespins to attach their work to the fence in front of the old Custom’s House. Since then the show has been held annually and grown from just local artists and now includes exhibitors from across the country and Canada.

CATEGORIES: Oil/Acrylic, Watercolor, Sculpture, Photography, Mixed Media, Other

Washington Sculptors Group: Bilateral Engagement
Deadline: August 17, 2009 (Online)
(Received by CaFÉ no entries accepted by mail or email)
Bilateral Engagement
Washington Sculptors Group
Art Museum of the Americas
Organization of American States
Washington D.C.
October 15, 2009 – January 15, 2010
JUROR’S STATEMENT/EXHIBITION THEME:
The OAS Art Museum of the Americas (AMA) celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Washington Sculptors Group and the upcoming centennial in 2010 of the OAS historic headquarters by exploring the ever-widening directions that contemporary sculpture has taken over the past decades. During the 1980s artists in both North and South America were still absorbing the radical artistic, political and social changes of the 1960s and 1970s. Minimalism, conceptualism, feminism, the de-materialization of the art object, installation art and assemblage are all re-structurings of sculpture that take interesting current forms in the works of the WSG.
Artwork selected will be linked with the Art Museum of the Americas by using work from its permanent collection as touchstones of the above-mentioned sculptural movements. Working with the curator of AMA’s permanent collection, representative examples will be selected to create a dialogue with the work of the WSG artists. For instance, a Latin American assemblage sculpture of the 1960s would be juxtaposed with a contemporary example of “eco-art” using recycled materials.
This exhibition structure will both demonstrate the historical sweep of WSG work in the past twenty-five years, and connect it with the concurrent Latin American avant-garde.
Eligibility:
This exhibition is open to Washington Sculptors Group members but persons who are not members may join by submitting a membership form and annual membership fee of $45.
Applications are being processed through the web-based organization "CallForEntry.Org." (There is no login or entry fee.)
CALL FOR ENTRY SPECIFICATIONS: (truncated)
Artists must use the CaFÉ web services (www.callforentry.org) to enter their artworks for “Bilateral Engagement”. If you are a current WSG member no payment is required.
An artist statement is required with all entries and is limited to 1 (one) paragraph per artist only.
Sculptures and mixed media sculptural installations: artists may enter from 1-3 works, up to 2 digital images per artwork, a maximum of 6 images per artist.
Video and New Media installation: All video and new media installation artists are required to enter still images for their artworks. Video and new media artists may enter 1-3 works, maximum of 2 digital images per work, and a maximum of 6 images per artist. Upload still images on the CaFÉ web site (www.callforentry.org)
INSURANCE
OAS will insure work during exhibition dates not during transport to or from the exhibition.
Juror: Laura Roulet, independent curator and writer, specializing in contemporary and Latin American art. She is the mentoring curator this year for the DCAC Curatorial Initiative.

BELOW THE SURFACE
Deadline: August 21, 2009 (RECEIVE)
BELOW THE SURFACE
A Cooperative Book Arts Exhibition between
The Book Arts Roundtable & The Printmaking Council of NJ
Branchburg, NJ
October 10 through December 5, 2009
This unique exhibition offers members of both organizations an opportunity to explore the intersection where book arts and the printed surface meet. Consider what structure or form; what materials and content will assist you in understanding and creating work inspired by what lies "below the surface". Artists may create alone or in teams. Entries may reflect the passive nature of what is below a surface, or the active process of scratching the surface of things to reveal hidden layers. Artists may choose to look into the layers of meaning, as they relate to our own personal experiences. How will the layers speak to you? What surface will you choose? In what way will you interpret what lies "below the surface"?
ELIGIBILITY & MEDIA: Original work must relate to the art of the book, the chosen theme, and have a sense of ‘bookness’ about it. Books can be bound using a variety of techniques, including accordion, tunnel, coptic, etc. Work must be recent (completed 2008 to present), and must not have been shown previously at PCNJ. Framed work will not be accepted. All accepted work meets standards of PCNJ and its Exhibition Committee. Each artist may submit 3 pieces of work. Work will be displayed on pedestals, shelving or walls. Space limitations may apply.
ENTRY SPECIFICATIONS: Artists may submit up to 3 entries. Up to 3 images may be sent for each entry. PCNJ accepts slides or digital (JPEG) images. There is no charge for entries (artists must be paid up with membership to BAR or PCNJ).
Those interested in new membership may pay time of entry.
EXHIBITION COMMITTEE: Four distinguished New Jersey artists have planned/conceptualized this collaborative exhibition - Bonnie Berkowitz, R.D. Burton, Elizabeth Mackie, and Barbara Scharf Lehrhoff.
SELECTION COMMITTEEE: Bonnie Berkowitz & Elizabeth Mackie
