Saint Charles Riverfront Arts Announces "Call For Entry" Extension For Upcoming Spring Artwalk
|
Saint Charles Riverfront Arts (SCRA) has announced the Spring ArtWalk event "Call For Entry" deadline has been extended to March 1, 2012. This signature event, sponsored by the Saint Charles Riverfront Arts organization, will be held the weekend of April 27-29, 2012.
This event is "artist friendly" – there are no entry fees and no commission on the artists' sales and the art is exhibited indoors. Printed and electronic post cards will be provided to artists to promote their participation, and SCRA will provide extensive media exposure for the show. As an additional benefit, Saint Charles Riverfront Arts will list all of the participating artist's web sites on the Spring ArtWalk section of the SCRA web site – www.saintcharlesriverfrontarts.com – when they are juried into the Spring ArtWalk show.
The annual Spring ArtWalk event – started in 2006 by Saint Charles Riverfront Arts – is the primary venue to support the organization's mission of growing a dynamic Art District in and around Main Street, in historic St. Charles, Missouri.
To enter, eligible "Spring ArtWalk" participants must be artists 18 years and older. Saint Charles Riverfront Arts requires digital images and a fully completed entry form (available to download from the organization's website - www.saintcharlesriverfrontarts.com.)Digital images must be at least 200 dpi and a maximum of 800 pixels on the longest side. Artists must submit 3 digital images of their artwork, and artists who choose to submit more than one primary medium (e.g. painting), should submit 3 digital images for each medium. Saint Charles Riverfront Arts reserves the right to jury each primary medium as a separate entry. Each image must be accompanied with the following information: Title, Size, and Medium.
Because there are no entry fees or commissions collected, accepted artists are required to donate one piece of art work valued at $250 or more to the event's Patron's Preference Auction, which is held on Sunday, April 29th. Donations must be original art and presented ready for the Patron to use (e.g. ready to hang). All show entries are due February 1, and accepted artists will be notified by March 1, 2012. All donated artwork for the Patron's Preference Auction is due to Saint Charles Riverfront Arts by April 1, 2012.
