Juried Art Guidelines for NuArt '08
The deadline for 2008 has passed.
Applications for the next "NuArt" Juried Open Competition in 2010 will be available in December of 2009.
This year's guidelines may be reviewed below.
The purpose of NuArt '08 is to showcase a body of work from each selected artist. The juror will accept a maximum of 30 artists and the exhibition will display 3-5 works from each artist.
Application Process - deadline: April 1, 2008
We accept only Internet applications through our web site. The application fee is $35 and is non-refundable. Artists must submit images of 3 to 5 works. An optional alternate view showing detail is permitted. Your application must be accompanied by images in JPEG format (72dpi, 900 pixels wide x 600 pixels high). No work that has been previously entered in the Anacortes Arts Festival will be accepted.
Categories
Artists working in the following categories are invited to enter the Art at the Port juried fine art exhibition:
- Drawing & Painting (including mixed media)
- Photography & Computer Generated Art
- Sculpture
- Fine Crafts (fiber, ceramics, metals, glass)
- Installation
Awards
Artists exhibiting in NuArt '08 will be eligible for purchase awards of up to $15,000 from Anacortes Collects, a community based matching fund initiative sponsored by the Festival to promote public art collecting in Anacortes. In addition, there is a $500 T Bailey Corporate Award and $1,000 Peoples Choice Award sponsored by Peoples Bank.
Presentation
If accepted, all work must be ready for display upon arrival. Wall-mounted pieces must have adequate hangers and/or wire. Three-dimensional work needs adequate installation instruction if it requires more than a standard pedestal.
Installation artists must install their own work and must make prior arrangements with festival staff to accommodate the installation. Installation artists must submit a one-page written or drawn proposal documenting what they intend to create, as well as 5 images documenting past work.
The Festival reserves the right to refuse any work it deems unsuitable.
Art Availability
If accepted, your pieces must be available from July 20, 2008 through August 3, 2008. Mailed work must be accompanied by enough funds for return postage.
Sales
AAF will handle sales and retain a 40% commission. Artists will receive payment within two weeks after the Festival for any work sold at the show.
Security
Artwork will be insured up to $2,500 per piece while on exhibition at Art at the Port.
