The Crooked Tree Arts Center (CTAC) is seeking donations of original works of art for our premier fundraising event, DART for ART.  Held each July for the past two decades, DART for ART is unique in that guests leave with an original work of art created by artists of local, regional, and national acclaim.  Accepted artists will receive two complimentary tickets for DART Preview Night and their work will be published in the event catalog.  The proceeds from DART for ART help support CTAC’s year-round programs, including exhibitions, classes, school tours, scholarships for youth, and so much more.  

The success of this event largely depends on the generosity of our artists. This is the one time that we ask artists to donate their work.  Otherwise, we work diligently to promote and create opportunities for our artists.  DART for ART is a two-night event with 500 guests each evening, comprised of both resort and local community art patrons.  We hope you will join us in our mission and donate a piece of your art in support of Crooked Tree Arts Center!

How DART works!

DART for ART is not a sale or an auction, it is an art “event.”  The patrons that attend the event on Thursday night purchase a “ticket” (which start at $500 and go up to $22,000) that has the name of a famous artist on it.  Each person that has a ticket will have the opportunity to dart (run) for a piece of artwork.  The evening progresses as follows:  there will be wine and appetizers, mingling, and previewing all of the amazing artwork that is available; there will be live auctions; everyone will then enjoy a seated dinner; after dinner, we pull out a bingo ball cage which has about 15-20 bingo balls with names of famous artists on them; we then turn the ball cage and see which ball falls out first; this is where the fun begins – the auctioneer calls out the name of the artist and everyone who has the name of that artist on their “ticket” RUNS to pick their artwork; when the first round of people (about 15-20 people each round!) are done picking out their artwork, the auctioneer rolls the cage and picks out another name of a famous artist…... This goes on until all patrons have “DARTED” for a piece of original artwork.

Learn more about the DART for ART event.

Benefits to donating artists:

Donating artists are invited, along with a guest, to attend the Preview Night on Wednesday, July 17, 2019.  Guests will sample wines from a variety of California, Oregon, and Michigan vintners, enjoy hors d’oeuvres from area chefs, and meet the artists while previewing all of the art for DART for ART.  Preview Night goes from 6:00 – 8:30 PM. You and your guest may arrive whenever it is convenient for you.

DART donating artists also receive Two tickets to a Swirl of their choice for the 2019-20 season.

Minimum artwork value:

We ask that your original artwork have a minimum value of $300, and be exhibition ready.  CTAC and the DART for ARTcommittee politely reserve the right to decline a donation of art.  CTAC has a gift acceptance policy which offers both the donor and the organization a streamlined manner in which to accept and process non-monetary gifts.

All donating artists will be included in the DART Artists Catalog.  The catalog began as an effort to further market our donating artists.  We have received numerous stories by artists being contacted at a later date through the catalog, resulting in art sales.  The full-color catalog includes your name, contact information (phone number, email, and website), and a list of galleries (up to three) where your work is exhibited.  1,500 catalogs are printed and distributed annually.  The catalog is given to each DART for ART guest and Preview Night attendee, and is also posted on CTAC's website and available in our galleries.  (Click here to view the 2018 catalog

Residency: Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) (Miami, FL)

2020 Artists in Residence in Everglades Application
For International artists

AIRIE presents a one-month, multi-disciplinary artist residency in partnership with Everglades National Park. Artists are invited to live and work for one month inside Everglades National Park, working with AIRIE and the Park to enhance their understanding of this unique and fragile ecosystem.

Each artists/artist group is provided a mini-grant of $1000, a furnished, air-conditioned apartment, 24/7 access to the Everglades National Park and introductions to park rangers, scientists, biologists, cultural and community leaders.

A National Park residency isn’t for everybody. It is for serious professionals who wish to work alone and unfettered in the challenge and beauty of the American wilderness. It is for those who deeply care about the environment and wish to contribute to it as well as benefit from it. The park can accommodate one resident per month, and residents are expected to stay the entire month.

AIRIE welcomes visual artists, scholars, composers, choreographers and writers to seek both solitude and solidarity in the inspiring environment of Everglades National Park.

Visual arts include painting, sculpture, photography, installation and video. Writers include poets and authors of fiction, creative non-fiction and creative journalism. Composers, musicians, dancers and performance artists are welcome to apply. Work submitted should be of professional quality. No student work will be eligible.

Residency experiences are tailored to the interests of each individual artist, creating opportunities for independence and solitude, as well as interaction, collaboration and public engagement as each artist desires.

Call for Proposals: The Cultural Center Crosswalks Project (Florida)

Contact Email: laura.atria@copbfl.com
Call Type: Public Art
Eligibility: Regional
State: Florida
Event Dates: 7/1/19 - 12/20/19
Entry Deadline: 6/9/19
Days remaining to deadline: 19
Number of Applications Allowed: 3

REQUIREMENTS:
Media

OVERVIEW
The Cultural Center Crosswalks Project will be located at SE 1st Ave. connecting City Hall to the Cultural Center. The artistic scope of work is to develop and install three crosswalk designs. This is a community engagement project and the selected artist(s) will work with residents/volunteers to install the artwork. The artwork lifespan of the project is predicted to be five years. This project is part of the NEA Grant awarded to the City in 2017.

THEME & REQUIREMENTS
This is a community engagement project and the selected artist(s) will work with residents/volunteers to install the artwork. The purpose of this project is to not only beautify the streets and connect City Hall and the Cultural Center, but also to strengthen ties within the community and give them a sense of pride and ownership to the finished artwork.

The crosswalk designs should be an abstract, repeating pattern that is easily translated into a stencil. The shapes must be solid colors, no gradients. The Crosswalks should convey a sense of place and utilize easy design elements with the purpose of refreshing the colors in the future, if need be. Designs should be simple and beautiful. Specific paint must be used. Since this is an outdoor floor mural, the artist must use paint that can stand up to not only weather wear and tear but car traffic as well.

This project is functional public art and will serve the purpose of providing a safe and beautiful street enhancement.

PROJECT LOCATION
The location for the crosswalks will be on SE 1st Ave. connecting City Hall and the Cultural Arts Center. There will be three crosswalks in total: one larger crosswalk (43’ by 35’) in between two smaller crosswalks (68’ x 10 ‘ and 32.5’ by 10’). Visit this website for details on locations, https://pbpublicart.com/assets/images/misc/Location.jpg

The City will assist with road closures during the installation and pressure clean the street area prior to design installation.

ARTWORK PURCHASE BUDGET
The purchase budget established for the project is $15,000.00. The price will include all insurance, taxes, fees, permits, materials and installation.

PERMITS

It shall be the artist’s responsibility, where applicable, to obtain all necessary permits prior to fabrication and installation. The artist will ensure that the design will be code compliant and can stand up to South Florida weather conditions.

Call for Proposals: MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation (Santa Barbara, CA)

Museum of Exploration and Innovation 2020
For International artists

MOXI -- The Wolf Museum of Exploration and Innovation -- opened in Santa Barbara, CA in early 2017.  In its first year it welcomed over 175,000 visitors.  MOXI's mission is to ignite learning through interactive experiences in science and creativity.  The museum has garnered numerous accolades, including being listed by Fodor's Travel as one of the top 10 new museums in the world.  MOXI’s three floors are filled with interactive and hands-on exhibits and experiences.  MOXI believes in the importance of art and creativity, and supporting that belief, has dedicated two museum spaces to rotating 3-month interactive media artworks.  These spaces are the Interactive Media Theater and the Bridge.

This call represents MOXI's second open application for artists and art collectives to propose works, for the year 2020.  For reference, recent artworks have incorporated elements such as Kinect-based body interaction; camera-based interaction, virtual reality and augmented reality.

The design language of MOXI, on every floor, invites visitors to interact fully.  As a result, exhibits must be designed to be highly durable and robust to any kind of interaction from adults and children, including climbing, hanging, pushing and pulling.

Following the close of this call, applications will be reviewed by MOXI's Curator of Interactive Media and the MOXI Exhibits staff.  Up to eight qualified applications will be chosen, and those artists will be offered $200 each to develop a more detailed exhibit proposal including drawings, detailed budget and reference letters; and to have one or more interviews with MOXI's committee.

As part of the current application process, artists are asked to submit a 3 paragraph exhibit proposal summary for either one or two exhibits.  The summary can include up to two embedded images in the PDF, and should also included an estimated total budget.  Budgets can be up to $10,000, inclusive of all artist fees, travel, hardware, software fabrication, installation, etc.  For the current application, budget detail is NOT required.  (Details of budget will come in the second phase.)

The review committee will select artists that best meet the requirements, based on the submitted information.  The following criteria will be examined:
- Quality of the artist's past work, both aesthetic and technical, as represented by the media submissions.
- Experience of the artist in creating interactive artworks.
- Experience of the artist in successfully designing, fabricating and completing public artworks that are highly durable and robust; on time and within budget.
- The artist's training, education and artist statement.
- Quality of the proposed interactive exhibit and alignment with MOXI's mission and audience.

Shifting Perspectives on Trauma - Art Exhibition
For International artists

ABOUT THE PERCEPTION PROJECT

The Perception Project is a Los Angeles based art-for-healing non-profit organization devoted to providing survivors of trauma with services that take on creative forms as expressive outlets and serve the local community. Between an artist/survivor collaboration, the muse provides a personal story, and the artist creates a masterpiece showcasing the muse's strength and inner beauty. These works are showcased through public art exhibitions designed to promote mental-health awareness, then gifted to the muses as a symbol of their strength. 

DESCRIPTION

About the Project:

The volunteer artist will

a) Receive a written story based upon the experiences of a trauma survivor (muse)

OR

b) Meet a trauma survivor (muse) in person to listen to the muse’s experiences with the presence of a therapist or mental health professional

and use it as inspiration to create an artwork meant to empower and inject positivity to the muse. Artwork is donated to the muse after the end of the exhibition. Acceptable mediums are canvas, wood panels, paper, digital prints, mixed media, visual art, and photography. A gift card or an art supplies goodie bag will be allocated to each artist (or artist team) to cover partial cost of materials. Artist travel fees are not covered.

Art Goals:

Works of art are created then gifted to the muses (survivors) as a symbol of their internal strength to continue thriving in life. The Perception Project devotes its creative platform towards promoting mental health awareness, maximizing community partnerships, local community involvement, providing meaningful work experience, and above all encouraging a shift towards positive perspective.

Site:

The art exhibition will be held at a private gallery in Los Angeles, CA. The event will be open to the public.

ELIGIBILITY

If your statement is included in the attachment and you feel it is still responsive to the requested information, simply indicate that you want us to use the statement on file.

Instructions for submitting entries

Deadline: June 19, 2019

Please read instructions carefully BEFORE beginning the application process

Submission

Each artist should submit work through the CaFETM website: callforentry.org. Interested artists are required to create a free café profile to apply. There is no entry fee for the Art Ability call, and artist profiles can be created and saved for future use. Artists with saved profiles should check to confirm contact information is still accurate. Applicants are invited to submit up to six (6) separate works of art for consideration, uploading one (1) JPEG (.jpg) image of each to the CaFE site. If necessary, a detail may be uploaded as one of the six. Images must be uploaded to the artist’s profile prior to completing a call for entry. Applications also require title of work, medium, size, year completed, and price. Be sure the size and selling price is a reflection of the artwork framed. Refer to specific finishing guidelines under the Eligibility section of this document.

Also consider submitting one of your six works of art (any media) to reflect our theme this year. The 2019 theme is “Energy.” To be included for consideration in the theme category at judging, please title your work “ENERGY: followed by the title of your work,” such as “ENERGY: Sunshine.” In the description field, include a description of your work and why it reflects Energy.

Depending on a variety of factors, the online submission process may take up to two hours to prepare images and submit the application. Applicants are strongly urged to allow time for any unforeseen technical difficulties. Applications can be saved and updated at anytime prior to the submission deadline of June 19, 2019.
 

Art centers and groups: A separate profile and valid email address is required for each submitting artist. Each artist’s submissions should reflect the person’s individual creativity. Multiple renditions of the same subject matter, such as a class assignment, will not be accepted. Please include the name and address of the art center or group on application.

We look forward to seeing your work!

Request for Proposals: City of West Hollywood is looking for Teaching Artists for Residency (CA)

City of West Hollywood*

*Arts Division*

*Request for Proposals*

*Artist in Residences – Teaching Artist*

The City of West Hollywood Arts Division is seeking proposals from
qualified teaching artists for a pilot interdisciplinary Artist in
Residences program to serve residents of subsidized housing projects and
other community members in West Hollywood. The program links both the
City’s commitment to creativity and its exemplary support of social
services for its residents. The program will increase the capacity of local
social service providers by expanding their services through artist-led
programs.

All artistic disciplines are welcomed including, but not limited to, visual
arts, media/new genre, performance, film/video, music/sound, choreography,
and writing. As a pilot program, we are open to various approaches to
engaging the participants – from group artmaking project experiences over a
period of time to sequential hands-on training in artistic practices. The
selected artist or artists will operate under a flat-rate contract for
services with the City to include a materials budget. The residency is
non-residential in that room and board will not be provided, however it is
anticipated that the artist will develop a “residency relationship” with
the organization and populations served.

The programs will likely take place at subsidized housing projects for
older and/or disabled and/or low income adults. Applicants should have a
strong interest in these populations and ideally previous experience
working with them.

*DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: Thursday, May 30, 2019 BY 12:00 PM PST*

*Applicant must submit proposals online: *http://bit.ly/2019-AIR-RFP

*All submissions shall include the following:*

A. Cover Letter

B. Artist in Residencies Proposal

C. Qualifications

D. Cost Proposal

For a full copy of the Request for Proposals, please visit the City’s
website at www.weho.org/rfp.

If you have any questions, please contact Joy Tribble by email at

The City reserves the right to reject any and all submissions and award the
contract to the Contractor who best meets the requirements set forth in the
specifications.
