“The Artists Muse: Wisconsin Artists-Wisconsin Poets” 

exhibition for 2015 for the Howard Young Art Gallery

Dear Artists,

I am putting together another “The Artists Muse: Wisconsin Artists-Wisconsin Poets” exhibition for 2015 for the Howard Young Art Gallery. This year’s artists muse exhibition was extremely successful with a full house for the reception in late April.  It took a whole year to plan for this exhibition – and gather artists and poets so now is the time to start for 2015. 

I would like to invite you submit jpgs of your artwork;  or a link to your website,  for consideration in this exhibition.  If you have already sent me your submission and interest in participating then you do not need to reply to this email. If your work is included in this exhibition, this is what you would be required to do: create 1-5 artworks; this number depends on how many artists accept this invitation, to relate to poem written by a Wisconsin Poet.  I have a treasure trove of poems by Wisconsin poets from this year, you can choose from this list – or perhaps you know a Wisconsin poet that you would like to work with. 

If you are invited to participate in this exhibition you will be required to create 1-3 works of art that are linked to Wisconsin poetry.  One of your works will need to be finished, photographed or scanned (if you do not know how to do this I can help you) and the photographs or scans, and poem(s) need to be at my studio by December 1, 2014. I will be creating a book to be sending with my proposal that I will be submitting in January to various galleries around the state.

This project is not just for The Howard Young Art Gallery - I will be sending a proposal out to various galleries around the state in hopes that they too will want to have this exhibition in their gallery. That means that your work will be shown in other areas in the state.  If the project travels then we can carpool our efforts to get our works to a different gallery - but that is down the road a ways and can be discussed at a later date.

In addition the poets whose works we use will be part of the opening reception for the exhibition - they will be invited to read their poetry at the reception at Howard Young Art Gallery and perhaps in the traveling exhibition.

In the event of this exhibition going on the road and you have sold the work you have created for the initial proposal you will be asked to create another(s) to go on the road with the traveling exhibition.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email me.  Email is the best because I really hate the phone.  Please let me know if you are interested or not within a by June 1, 2015.

My email address is:  christinealfery@christinealfery.com

Sincerely,

Christine Alfery

Walls of Wittenberg's (WOW) Fall Show

  

Hi Folks,

Please pass the information along to one and all. Our jurors this year will be Ron Zdroik and Julia Collins, both winners of Best of Show in earlier shows!  Read more about them on the web site.

Two years ago we had a nice assortment of artists who had exhibited in the WOWSPACE send me photos of one of the works and a brief bio which we put up on the Smart Wisconsin Miles of Art site. Let's exceed that number this year. It is good advertising for you. Thanks in advance for getting something off to me.

Looking forward to seeing many interesting pieces for this show--don't be put off by the theme--abstract art will be as welcomed as representational work.
