The Tollbooth Gallery is a sidewalk kiosk with a video monitor and approximately 20 square feet of space for the installation of 2D or 3D work.
The exhibitions are lighted and available for viewing 24 hours a day.
Artists are responsible for installation and deinstallation of their projects. TaCo will provide a list of local art installers and holding locations for shipped artwork; artists are responsible for costs incurred with these services.
At the conclusion of the exhibition, the principal artist or curator will receive a $100 honorarium.

26th Annual Jazz & Blues Festival
Deadline: November 21, 2008
26th Annual Jazz & Blues Festival
Request for Proposals
Glendale, Arizona
April 4-5, 2009
Event-Based Public Art Opportunity
The City of Glendale Public Art program is pleased to announce a new temporary public art opportunity for 2-4 artists or artist teams to produce site specific artwork in and around the Downtown Glendale area during the 26th Annual Jazz & Blues Festival.
Project Description
City of Glendale Marketing is organizing the Jazz & Blues Festival in Glendale for the 26th year in a row. In 2009 the event will be sponsored by the Gibson Guitar Company. To celebrate the longevity of this project Glendale Arts will collaborate by inviting contemporary artists to make innovative artwork that will engage a variety of audiences. This is an opportunity for either an emerging or experienced artist who would like to develop current work that will add to the art experience but will also compliment the festival setting.
The City’s goal with this temporary public art project is to bring another dimension to the festival with elements of surprise and delight and to introduce the public to contemporary artists and their work. Due to the bustle and commotion inherent in celebratory acts like this festival, work must be able to distinguish itself as an art piece or performance art piece to be successful. Unique projects are appreciated and highly encouraged. Artists in all disciplines are welcome to apply. All media accepted.
The selected artists will work with Art & Marketing staff on the logistics for the completed project.
Eligibility
Any artist or artist team who can present their piece on-site for the duration of the festival and can complete the set-up, day-to-day operation and tear down of their project and follow the timeline, on-schedule, is eligible to apply.
Project Budget
Budget: $40,000.00 divided between 2-4
The art budget is all-inclusive and will range from between $10,000-$30,000 depending on the scope of the project but must cover all expenses.
• All costs, including supplies, equipment rentals and materials, necessary for design, fabrication, footings and installation for completing this project.
• Taxes and insurance (estimated to be as much as 10% of the total budget).
• All costs for transportation for the artist, presentation materials and the artwork, including attendance at several public meetings and working with the City staff.
• Documentation leave behind (e.g. CD with photo documentation, DVD copy of video or sound work compatible with broadcast television, etc.) for portable collection archive.

Cloth Paper Scissors 2010 Calendar
Deadline: February 27, 2009 (RECEIVE)
Cloth Paper Scissors 2010 Calendar
We're making a Cloth Paper Scissors calendar for 2010, and you're invited to help. Each month and the cover will feature a piece of artwork by one of you, our readers.
The theme for our first Cloth Paper Scissors calendar will be "Life is like a box of..." and you choose the contents!
Is your life like—as they say—a box of chocolates? Or is it a box of ornaments?
Spools of thread? Fairy dust? Eggs? A combination of things? Show us what, in any given month, life is like a box of for you. You can use any media you like, so long as your submission conforms to the guidelines below. You may interpret the theme as a literal, three-dimensional box (no more than 2" deep) or as a two-dimensional representation. The "box" may be segmented or not. You can opt to show only the contents of your box, so long as the finished artwork fills the 12" x 12" space. The artists who create the 13 winning submissions (one for the cover and 12 for the months) will each receive a $200 gift certificate to our online store.
How it works:
Create up to two original, not previously published, 12" x 12" square pieces of mixed-media artwork based on the theme of "Life is like a box of…." Each piece of art must be 12" x 12", with a depth (height when laid flat) of no more than 2", and the entire submission, including packaging, must weigh no more than 5 lbs. The artwork should also be sturdy enough to be wrapped and shipped for display at various quilt and textile shows with Cloth Paper Scissors.
Please note: Your entry must be free of any text or images that are protected by copyright unless you have the expressed written permission from the person or institution that holds the copyright and you provide that written permission with your submission.
Although we welcome all mixed-media styles, each entry should be of original design, created for this challenge, and fit the theme. Also, though we encourage you to follow your muse, please be aware that artwork that is overall very dark or very shiny does not photograph well, and thus is less likely to be chosen.
Submit three 8" x 10" photographs of each submission, one of the full piece and two detail shots. To give your submission the best chance of being accurately evaluated, please make sure the photographs are well-lit, clear, and are printed on photo-quality paper (not copy paper).
Friday, March 20, 2009: We will announce the finalists on our website and ask them to ship the actual artwork to our office. Please check the website on that date as this will be the only notification to the finalists. We will not contact the finalists directly.
Friday, May 8, 2009: We will announce the winners on our website (winners will not be contacted directly).
Include a $10 entry fee with your submission. This $10 fee covers your entire submission, whether you enter one or two pieces.
We cannot accept emailed entries. However, if you have questions about the contest, please email us at info@quiltingarts.com or write to us at the address above.

You can use any media you like, so long as your submission conforms to the guidelines below. You may interpret the theme as a literal, three-dimensional box (no more than 2" deep) or as a two-dimensional representation. The "box" may be segmented or not. You can opt to show only the contents of your box, so long as the finished artwork fills the 12" x 12" space. The artists who create the 13 winning submissions (one for the cover and 12 for the months) will each receive a $200 gift certificate to our online store.
How it works:
Create up to two original, not previously published, 12" x 12" square pieces of mixed-media artwork based on the theme of "Life is like a box of…." Each piece of art must be 12" x 12", with a depth (height when laid flat) of no more than 2", and the entire submission, including packaging, must weigh no more than 5 lbs. The artwork should also be sturdy enough to be wrapped and shipped for display at various quilt and textile shows with Cloth Paper Scissors.
Please note: Your entry must be free of any text or images that are protected by copyright unless you have the expressed written permission from the person or institution that holds the copyright and you provide that written permission with your submission.
Although we welcome all mixed-media styles, each entry should be of original design, created for this challenge, and fit the theme. Also, though we encourage you to follow your muse, please be aware that artwork that is overall very dark or very shiny does not photograph well, and thus is less likely to be chosen.
Submit three 8" x 10" photographs of each submission, one of the full piece and two detail shots. To give your submission the best chance of being accurately evaluated, please make sure the photographs are well-lit, clear, and are printed on photo-quality paper (not copy paper).
Friday, March 20, 2009: We will announce the finalists on our website and ask them to ship the actual artwork to our office. Please check the website on that date as this will be the only notification to the finalists. We will not contact the finalists directly.
Friday, May 8, 2009: We will announce the winners on our website (winners will not be contacted directly).
Include a $10 entry fee with your submission. This $10 fee covers your entire submission, whether you enter one or two pieces.
We cannot accept emailed entries. However, if you have questions about the contest, please email us at info@quiltingarts.com or write to us at the address above.
