Invitation
to Anthroposophical Artists in North America
to submit
work to an open exhibition to be held in Ottawa, Canada,
on the
theme of “Encountering Our Humanity,” in August 2016.
Digital
(JPG only) images of paintings, sculpture, mixed media, multi-media and
architectural work created in the last two years (architecture in the past 15
years) may be submitted by March 1, 2016 to the email addresses below. Final
selection will be made by March 15, 2016 for works to be included in a virtual
slide show that will run during the “Encountering Our Humanity” conference
venue, La Cité Collégiale in Ottawa, Canada, August 7-14, 2016. From these works, a further, smaller selection of pieces will be
made for actual exhibition in a gallery space (to be announced) for the same
period of time. (It is hoped that this selection may provide the basis for
possible future shows.)
Please
email images (no larger than 2MB) to sylvierichard@rogers.com and to aka.vanjames@gmail.com, together
with name of artist, title of work, dimensions, and cost if for sale. In
addition, include a one-to-three sentence statement concerning your art: “what
you are striving to achieve in your art”, or “what are your artistic
questions?” A $25 fee will be required of each artist selected for the final
exhibition in order to cover costs for a catalog. Shipping of actual work to
and from the venue and insurance is the responsibility of the artist. Hand
deliveries are possible two days before the opening. Potential purchases will
be handled directly by the artists, but a 20% commission will be asked for to
defray exhibition costs. (The selection of work is final.)
Selection
of artwork will be made by Sylvie Richard and Van James, professional artists
and members of the Visual Art Section of North America. Selection will be based
on a wide range of styles and mediums expressive of the quality of work being
done in North America today. These works will be shown together with a pre-existing
and somewhat abridged exhibit of anthroposophical architecture (panels with
photographs and possible models) originally shown in Europe. North American
architects are invited to contribute to the broadening of this part of the
exhibit.
For the Selection Committee,
Sylvie Richard sylvierichard@rogers.com
