MCBA Prize
Minnesota Center for Book Arts
MCBA Main Gallery
Minneapolis, MN
August 17, 2024 to October 12, 2024
The MCBA Prize, presented by Minnesota Center for Book Arts, honors excellence in new work from across the dynamic spectrum of book art. The international competition will culminate in an exhibition in MCBA’s Main Gallery of 20–30 selected semi-finalists and a live virtual event revealing the winner.
Forms, processes, traditions and approaches are open. Work may include unique book objects, altered books, graphic novels, ‘zines, concrete poetry, conceptual, visual and literary works. Processes may include any printing or printmaking methods such as photo-mechanical, hand-worked, analog/digital, relief printmaking, letterpress, intaglio, and screen-printing, as well as hand-lettering. Works may be in edition or unique. The finished work can depart from a bound book format to engage metaphors of the book in sculpture or installation. Work can be created collaboratively, but ultimately must result from an artist or artists’ vision and active participation.
Only book projects completed between June 2022 and May 31, 2024 are eligible.
AWARDS: One winner will receive a $2,000 cash prize, four finalists will each receive a $500 cash prize, and all entries will be published here on our prize site.
APPLICATION FEE: $35. An artist may submit more than one application for different book projects, but each application is a separate $35 fee.

Artsmith Artist Residency Program
Deadline: May 31, 2015 {ONLINE}
Artsmith Artist Residency Program
Artsmith
Eastsound, WA
2016 Season
Artsmith is a non-profit organization promoting arts education and the creation of new works of art. Spend up to four weeks in creative focus next January on Orcas Island in Washington State's San Juan Islands. The interdisciplinary is intended as a place for cross-pollination of science/nature and the arts, and as a space conducive to the creation of new works.
Held at the historic Kangaroo House Bed and Breakfast, the residency hosts up to five writers, artists, scholars, and naturalists. As guests, each fellow stays in a private room with private bath. The residency is within 1/4 mile of the beach and one mile of the main town of Eastsound, with a walking trail to both. The island is also home to two state parks and the Turtleback Mountain Preserve, as well as several beaches, so there are plenty of spaces to stretch your legs and absorb the island setting.
Available weeks in 2016:
January 3-9
January 10-16
January 17-23
January 24-30
Visual artists, please note that Artsmith does not have artist studios, much as we wish we did. As a result, the residency is best-suited for artists who do not require use of a studio. If in doubt, please email us at info@orcasartsmith.org to inquire.
Application Fee: $35.00
The Artsmith Peer Review Panel, comprised of artists, writers, and scholars, assesses applications based primarily on two main criteria:
1. How well the proposed work will benefit from the residency setting
2. Do the statement of intent and work sample reflect originality and evidence of significantly refining craft or pushing the boundaries of craft
The makeup of the Peer Review Panel changes each year, but is always selected to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the residency.
Complete residency details available on website: http://orcasartsmith.org/residency.html

COME UP TO MY ROOM 2012
Deadline: May 31, 2011 (EMAIL) or (RECEIVE)
COME UP TO MY ROOM 2012
Alternative Design Event
The Gladstone Hotel
Toronto, Ontario
January 26 – 29, 2012
The Gladstone Hotel seeks Expressions of Interest for innovative, cutting-edge, contemporary design and installation-based projects for The Gladstone Hotel’s annual alternative design event, COME UP TO MY ROOM. The ninth instalment of CUTMR will take place from January 26 to 29, 2012 at the historic Gladstone Hotel in downtown Toronto. Site-specific work will be mounted in the rooms and public spaces in the second floor Gladstone Gallery and ground floor spaces of the hotel.
Ideal candidates for juried consideration are practitioners who approach their discipline with a radical personal vision, and who use design to converse, connect, collaborate and construct delight in the unexpected.
There are two ways to participate in COME UP TO MY ROOM 2012:
1. Immersive Room Installation
Participants will create new work that is site-specific and installation-based.
The CUTMR curatorial process is unique in that we select the artist/designer/teams for rooms installations based on past work only, and then trust them to create a site-specific installation following their own personal vision. We choose you, but we don’t know what you will do with your space until we “come up to your room”. Due to this kind of curatorial process, that is a core premise of the show, CUTMR lends itself to transience, and is never presented the same way twice. Please do not send a specific proposal for the room. Only describe your practice and show past projects.
Key words for the room installations are immersive and spatial.
2. Site-Specific Public Space Project (including hallways, lobbies and interstitial spaces):
Participants will create functional lighting, seating, wall-based projects, or a functional bar, DJ table, or CUTMR ticket desk.
Unlike the room installations, participants submitting for a public space project MUST include details of specific works to be exhibited in the show. All participants are required to showcase new work and are asked to produce work specifically for CUTMR 2012. Please include as much detail as possible on your proposal for the space, as well as images of your previous work. Drawings, descriptions, etc., of your proposed project are essential.
FEES:
$700 + HST for room installations
$195 + HST for public space projects
Fees include three installation days and four-day space rental; exhibition administration and coordination; inclusion in the promotion, publicity, marketing materials, exhibition catalogue, and cross-promotion with the Toronto Design Offsite (TO DO) List. Fees are payable upon acceptance.
Several past participants have been successful in obtaining exhibition assistance grants and sponsorships.
