Call for Submission of Art for the
ECHOES OF Poe-ARTry Museum Show and Exhibit

DATES

SUBMISSIONS OPEN: July 1, 2022

SUBMISSION CLOSE: August 1, 2022

EXHIBIT UNVEILING AND MUSEUM SHOW:  August 17, 2022 @ 4 pm PT 

SUBMISSION FEE:  $20 per submission **two submissions per person**

Note: The submission fee reflects the administrative costs associated with hosting the exhibit, museum show, and promotion and marketing, as well as keeping this as part of our permanent museum collection and archive. All proceeds support our non-profit Intentional Creativity Foundation, which funds our museum, art education, and scholarships for our current and future students. 

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

We are inviting women of color to submit digital images of mixed media artwork depicting a powerful woman (could be a picture of yourself), which expresses their intimate connection with healing through creating intentionally. To accompany the artwork, there must be a video of the artist with the artwork reciting a spoken word piece (poetry) that they have written about the displayed artwork. The incorporation of  elements which give lots of dimension and texture are ideal. Artwork is limited to 12 x 12 inches and can be on canvas or board (canvas board, wood cut to size, etc.).  

Thematic elements should include an image of at least one woman, and may include, for example:

  • Symbols from your heritage (ankh, cowrie shells, drums, feathers, etc.)
  • Dimensional flowers
  • Beads/Stones
  • String/Chain
  • Clay 
  • Collaged papers
High resolution image in PNG, JPEG, TIFF or PDF format.  Cropped without any background (such as your living room or easel) showing in the image. 

MEDIUM

Good quality image in PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or PDF format of a mixed media artwork that has been created on 12x12 inch canvas, wood panel, or other suitable mixed media substrate. NOTE: We have how-to documents and a wonderful support team to answer you submission questions.

**All pieces of art submitted will be included as long as it meets our image quality standards and has the written component included.** 

 

THE BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION
