Call for Natural Inspiration
Submission
deadline 5pm Tuesday, October 9th
Photographers, painters, sculptors, and other
artists are invited to submit portfolios for the Natural Inspiration
"Educational Art Wall" located inside the Florida Keys National
Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in the Winn Dixie Plaza on Big Pine Key.
Friends And Volunteers Of Refuges operates a
bookstore within the Visitors Center and wants to complement their educational
retail products with a wall of art that mirrors their environmental
message. Each of the 5 artists chosen
will be awarded a month long exhibit with the first opening scheduled for
December 3rd.
Portfolios/proposals will be accompanied by our consignment & entry form (click here.)
For ideas on appropriate subjects, see our list (click here.)
All art must be accompanied with an environmental
message by the artist.
Artists that are chosen will design and hang their
wall for the month. Available wall space measures by 9’9” to ceiling with 9’5”
width. Space devoted to objects with depth (sculpture, etc) is available
within reason.
Artists will also be able to sell smaller works
alongside the wall. Any “flat art” will be kept in bins and must be kept
below 11x22. 8x10’s tend to sell very well. Bin art can be matted
or unmatted.
Portfolios and proposals for the exhibit space can
be delivered to the Florida Keys National Wildlife Refuges visitor center in
the Big Pine Key shopping plaza. Please call the visitor center to arrange for
portfolio delivery @ 872-0774.
