What is the 9×12?

The 9×12 Works on Paper Show was inaugurated in December of 2005 as an inexpensive exhibition opportunity for artists worldwide and as filler for the galleries during a traditionally slow month. That year, the Fort Worth Community Arts Center received over 900 small works of art through the mail. It was such a success for the artists and the Arts Center that we have continued to hold the exhibition every December, and it is no longer a slow month, as patrons and art collectors discover this treasure-trove of small art.

An open art call for
CONTAINED

…an art exhibit that thinks inside the box.

Entry deadline: Friday, November 1, 6:00 pm

SLANT | 13331 Preston Rd., #2218 | Dallas, TX
(in the Midtown artist community at Valley View)
slantx.weebly.com

http://slantx.weebly.com/open-call-contained.html 

Creative people are consistently told that to come up with a truly original concept, one must think ‘outside’ of the box. We’d like to challenge that thought. We want you to think inside the box…or crate, vessel, receptacle, or even your own mind.

From the mundane to the sacred, there are many forms of containment that can be found in our daily lives.  From the familiar cup which holds your coffee, to the common envelope that holds your utility bill. Our sentiments are contained in treasured lockets with heirloom photos, or in bottled up emotions that we hold deep inside. We gently tuck our beloved pets in carriers, and neatly pack our necessities in suitcases. Clothing contains our bodies as our subconscious contains our dreams, all the while we build ships in bottles and wrap gifts in boxes. From the womb that holds us in the beginning, to the urn that contains our ashes at the end; it seems we prefer our belongings, bodies, thoughts, and sometimes even our lives, to be contained.
‘Contained’ is a juried art exhibit which will feature original works of art that may contain, encompass, enclose, restrain, trap, restrict, or hold in. Work may loosely reflect the meaning of containment, or may be literally translated by using some sort of physical container. 2D and 3D works are acceptable. 

ELIGIBILITY: CONTAINED is open to artists 18+ working in 2D & 3D mediums.  Entries must be original works. No giclees or un-numbered series. 2D work must be wired and ready to hang. Art without proper wiring or hanging hardware will not be accepted. Maximum size for 2D work is 48” in any direction. 3D works should not exceed 50 lbs, and take up no more than 30”x30” max floor space.  Works must be able to fit through a standard exterior door. Artwork that requires special installation or hardware may require the artist to install. All artwork must be clearly labeled with artist’s name and contact information.

ENTRY:  Artists may enter up to 3 artworks for jury review. Send entries via email as jpg images to slantx@outlook.com Entries to be received by 6:00 pm on November 1.

ENTRY FEE: $15 (one fee covers up to 3 submission pieces). Entry fee may be paid via check, money order (payable to Laurie Mahoney), or credit card. Payment to be received by submission deadline, November 1. This is not a postmark deadline. To send entry fee via PayPal:  Lmahoney@me.com If mailing entry fee send to: SLANT / Contained, c/o Laurie  Mahoney, 13331 Preston Rd, #2218, Dallas, TX 75202

NOTICE OF ACCEPTED ENTRIES: An email notification will be sent to individual artists who have accepted entries. Notification will be sent by midnight, November 3.

ART DROP:  Accepted entries may be delivered to SLANT on Friday, November 8 from 6-8pm, or Saturday, November 9 from noon-6pm. Drop of location is 13331 Preston Rd, Suite #2218, in Dallas. SLANT is located in the west wing of the artist’s community at Midtown, on the second level of Valley View Mall. Valley View is located on the northwest corner of Preston & LBJ. SLANT reserves the right to refuse artwork that does not reflect the original jpg entry.

It is acceptable for another person to drop off your work, as long as you agree to allow them to sign the artist’s agreement on your behalf. We must be notified of this in writing (email) in advance of art drop. Please make sure your artwork is clearly labeled with your name, and contact info. SLANT Artist Collective is not responsible for illegible or incorrect information provided on the artist’s agreement. SLANT Artist Collective will take every precaution for safe handling and displaying of artwork, but cannot be held responsible for loss or damage. Artists are responsible for insuring their own work.

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, November 16 from 6:00-10:00 pm at SLANT. Participating artists are asked to attend the reception. SLANT receptions are free and open to the public. Art will remain on display through mid-December. Art pick up date/time will be shared at art drop.

Texas Visual Arts Association presents CITATION 2013

Michael Holter JUROR:

http://www.michaelholter.com

Michael says, “I think of my work as impressionistic. I like to represent people or places and allow the painting to evolve from the structure of what is recognizable. The challenge is to balance the care needed to make the representation interesting…and perhaps believable, with the freedom, looseness and painterly quality that makes painting so unique and expressive.”

Jurying guidelines to consider: Several factors contribute to making great art: Principles and elements of design evident to the viewer and are they handled well? What does the overall composition of the piece do to convey the meaning? Is there a story being told and is the story accessible to the viewer—what is the artist trying to say?

Does the artist have a grasp of the medium and utilize it effectively?
