This is an interesting way of displaying your work. Perhaps allowing for more people to view your work, sparking an interest in those who would not have been able to physically attend a gallery show!

Blue Sky Project - Call for Proposals
Involvement Advocacy
(Dayton OH)
BLUE SKY PROJECT OF DAYTON, OHIO SEEKS ARTIST’S PROPOSALS FOR 2010 SUMMER RESIDENCY.

CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS: VISUAL ARTISTS, ARTIST/ACTIVISTS, FILMMAKERS, WRITERS, DANCERS, MUSICIANS, THEATER PERFORMERS, AND PEOPLE WORKING IN OTHER CREATIVE MEDIA ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY.

As a Blue Sky Project Artist-In-Residence, you will cross-pollinate with other practicing artists, collaborate with teens, expand your ideas and add artistic breadth and depth to the Dayton community.

Relocated in 2009 to Ohio from our original location in Illinois, artists gather for eight weeks from mid-June to mid August at the University of Dayton, located 2 miles from downtown Dayton. Monday - Thursday, from 10-3:30 are devoted to intensive collaborations between each individual artist and a small group of six to eight local teen participants, culminating in a final exhibition. Artists-in-Residence invent the remaining structure, working together or individually on projects. Our hope is that the projects will seep out, intervene, enhance and impact the community.

Your recent studio practice and new ideas should provide the foundation for your activities. Because of the collaborative nature of Blue Sky Project, your project must have an open-ended structure. Your project must be achievable in eight weeks, within a $1,000 budget (excluding final exhibition expenses) and must engage others in its articulation and production. The rest is up to you. Previous projects have included: sculptural sound installation, video installation, performance, musical composition, dance installation, 2D visual-art and photography, self-published magazines, and site-specific interventions.

Application deadline is January 23, 2010. To learn more about Blue Sky Project, see previous work and backgrounds of past resident artists, and to download our Call for Proposals, please visit

Subject to Change, NOT THIS Artist Collective
Ox Gallery
(Philadelphia PA)
Application Deadline: Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

NOT THIS Artist Collective is seeking artists, both emerging and established, to submit pieces for an exhibition concerning “unfinished” work. This show, “Subject to Change,” aims to re-evaluate how and when work is exhibited, and investigate the chronology of the creative process. The exhibition will take place on December 4th, 2009, at Ox, a new DIY gallery space in Philadelphia.

In selecting and or creating your work, we encourage you to consider the following:

-When is a work complete?

-What does it mean to submit an “unfinished” work, and does the act of submission lend the work finality?

-If you’re submitting art to a show themed “unfinished,” will you work on it again?



As a student artist collective, we are evaluating our role as “finished/unfinished” artists. We are examining how the hierarchy of artist roles, i.e. the student/professional artist, function in the art context. NOT THIS is challenging you as artists to re-evaluate your process, the way a work of art is viewed, our conception of a show, and aim to receive a wide variety of submissions. All media is encouraged!

To submit: Email at least three images of your work, as well as an artist statement, to NotThisArtistCollective@gmail.com by November 11th. Please indicate whether you are interested in submitting the work you send or creating original pieces for the gallery (if so, please include a description or proposal).

As a ceramist, where process is so important - a true part of the work - this is very intriguing. The freedom!
