Call for Entries for Art Show

Date Posted: 11/10/09
Organization: Art@Axis
City: San Jose

Description:

The new Art@Axis gallery space, at the Axis highrise in downtown San Jose, is announcing a Call for Entries for their second show, the December thru February consignment period. (www.art-at-axis.com) The deadline to respond is Friday, November 20th at midnight.



We are looking for local painters, sculptors, photographers, plus ceramicists and glass artists (pretty much any media). We have a bias toward South Bay artists but can expand beyond the immediate vicinity. We may have some opportunity for a public arts installation in the future if you do work that is durable and can handle being outdoors and have potential direct contact from passersby.



The Art@Axis gallery space has received a great deal of publicity from the Axis PR firm and offers an opportunity to expose your work to the people who are buying new condos in the building and have empty walls to fill. Our first reception weekend had hundreds of attendees. The lobby galleries are open to the public during regular business hours. Axis sales staff is constantly holding events and leading tours thru the upper 12th floor hall gallery and the Penthouse.



Please submit entries (up to 10 jpg files) via email to info@art-at-axis.com. The work needs to be currently available for sale. The files should be no larger than 800 pixels in the largest dimension. Name the files with your initials followed by an abbreivated version of the title (avoid special characters like #, %, & and overly long names). Please try to avoid using the name "Untitled", it is an organizational nightmare. You are welcome to number them if titles are not your thing. If your submission is accepted I will contact you for a list of the full names along with delivery instructions. Please no phone calls!

Please also include the media you work in, your bio and artist statement, and a link to your web presence if you have them. You will need to make a $20 contribution to share in the cost of promotional materials if you are accepted into the show. There is a 20% commission on any sales, which is much less than traditional galleries. There will be a reception for the artists at December's First Friday Art Walk on the 4th that I encourage you to attend.



The goal of Art@Axis is to provide additional opportunities for local artists to display their work and be seen by the public. We will keep additional artwork on file for clients to browse that is not in the current show.
