CALLING ALL ARTISTS

April 17, 2010 an open artist competition will be held from 2-5 P.M. at the Bent Easel Art Gallery, 121 Blue Star, suite 6 located in the Blue Star Arts Complex. This is a “mystery bag” competition.
Each artist will be given a bag of materials and a canvas to create an original work of art. All materials in the bag must be used in the work and a theme will be given for the composition. There will be a one hour time limit for the creation of artwork.
Artists are allowed to bring any additional items they wish to use in the creation and are asked to bring their own supplies such as paint, brushes, pens, pencils, charcoal, crayons, found objects etc. The will be a table of supplies provided but these will be limited and on a first come first serve basis.
There will be an audience present so performance pieces are encouraged. Artists are also allowed to collaborate on a piece if desired.
The competition will be judged by several well known local artists and curators, as well as the audience. Gift certificates from Asel Art will be given for the top 3 winners of the competition as well as a special “people’s choice” award given for votes from the audience.
There is a $15 entry fee to help cover the expense of prize money and supplies provided. Once the judging is complete the artists are allowed to sell their work. Pricing is up to the individual artist.

Please forward this to any and all artists who might be interested in participating and contact me no later than April 1st if you wish to participate in the competition.
