Biggs Picture: Landscape Competition
Biggs Museum of American Art
Dover, DE
May 17—July 20, 2014
The Biggs Museum of American Art presents Biggs Picture, the third juried landscape competition and exhibition featuring the work of professional and emerging artists, working and/or living in the Mid-Atlantic region.
This exhibition will present art works from all media; such as, painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, craft, and video; of competition winners that most successfully interpret the theme of Landscape. Depending on size, the exhibition will display between 40 and 60 works.
ELIGIBILITY
The competition is open to all artists, both amateur and professional of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
REQUIREMENTS
All submitted works must be original and have been created within the past two years. Works exhibited in a prior Biggs Museum exhibition will not be considered.
Each work must fit within at least one of these sub-themes:
Perceived Landscape: interpretations of actual spaces at particular times.
Imagined Landscapes: interpretations of spaces from the past, memory, make-believe, and/or the future.
Landscapes of the Mind: interpreting psychological states of being through creations of space.
This exhibition will be supported by a number of educational programs including, but not limited to: curator led tours of the Biggs Museum’s landscape paintings, juror talks, workshops in the Museum’s galleries, “Paint Outs” in Dover’s historic areas, and Biggs Kids programming.
What is Landscape
Landscape is an expanse of space that can be seen in a single view. “Space” is used to describe any actual or conceived idea of a location, volume, or area with limitations and boundaries that separate it from its surroundings. Works submitted can range from traditional landscapes to waterscapes, urban scenes, interiors, and abstracted works interpreting particular spaces. The term is not limited to expressions of the land and the exhibition is intended to include work reflecting both representational and experimental ideas of “landscape”.
FEES
A non-refundable fee of $35 entitles the artist to submit three works to the competition. Additional works may be submitted for $10 per work.
JURORS
Sharon Ewing: Director of the Gross McCleaf Gallery of Contemporary Realist Painting in Philadelphia
Mary Tobias Putman: Delaware painter, recipient of the Hassam, Speicher, Betts and Symons Purchase Fund Award of the American Academy of the Arts
AWARD
One work will be selected by the jurors as Best-in-Show for a $1,500 purchase prize to be added to the Biggs Museum permanent collection.

The Visual Arts Fellowship
Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown

2014-2015 Season
Fellowship: The Fine Arts Work Center provides seven-month Fellowships to ten emerging artists and ten emerging writers each year from Oct.1 through April 30. Visual Arts Fellows are provided with a private, furnished apartment, a separate work studio of approximately 400 sq ft and a monthly stipend of $750.
Eligibility: The Fellowship is open to all emerging visual artists creating two-dimensional work, three-dimensional work, and time-based media work.

Tenure track professors in Fine Arts who are on sabbaticals are considered ineligible.
Collaborative teams may apply under one application and if selected they will only be awarded one Fellowship to share. Applicants who would like to apply as an individual artist as well as part of a collaborative team may do so if these two bodies of work are completely different and distinctive.
Artists must be in residence during their Fellowships. Absences may not exceed more than fourteen consecutive days or total more than thirty days during the seven-month Fellowship. Please consider any personal or professional commitments you have made or anticipate before applying. The Fine Arts Work Center welcomes family members and partners of Fellows during the Fellowship Term. There is one pet-friendly apartment available for a Visual Artist.

The Arts Administration Internship Program provides “hands-on” immersion in the daily operations of a progressive arts organization that provides residence and work space to emerging and mid-career artists in a 25-acre sculpture park, which over 60,000 visitors experience annually.
This position is best suited for those interested in exploring public art, museum studies, arts administration or nonprofit management careers. Interns work directly with Franconia staff and closely with working artists on a range of projects that relate to all areas of arts nonprofit operation and promoting the education of three-dimensional arts. Candidate will work on-site at our 25-acre park, where an ever-changing exhibition of 105 contemporary sculptures reflects the talents of local, national, and international artists. Through this program, interns will develop a deeper understanding of nonprofit arts administration, the role of the arts in the community, audience development and engagement, and develop “real life” skills and experience that can be put to use in their future careers.
Primary Responsibilities
Franconia will supply a workspace and all materials necessary to perform the above duties.
Arts Administration Internships are unpaid, require a minimum commitment of 15 hours per week for non-residents, and last between two and four months. In exchange for 35+ hours of work per week, room and board will be provided by Franconia. Franconia agrees to work with the Intern to fulfill any necessary academic requirements and address any identified learning goals/objectives. To help offset travel and personal expenses, some schools or private individuals may sponsor internships.
Please note: Administrative Interns do NOT receive studio space nor is their artwork included in the exhibition.
