Call for artists
Clipboard Exhibit
EXHIBIT A GALLERY CALL FOR ARTISTS
CLIP BOARD EXHIBIT
Show dates May 1-29, 2021
Let’s get creative artists! Create a work of art that will hang from a clipboard. Use your imagination! This exhibit will be a little more casual than past exhibits. I’m anticipating your artwork to be unframed. A specific clipboard has been purchased for this event and you can pick yours up beginning Wednesday January 20, 2021. There is no cost for the clipboard; however, you must utilize the clipboards provided by Exhibit A Gallery. Jewelry artists can have multiple items attached creatively to your clipboard. 3D artists must use their clipboard as a base. You can do as little as painting the clipboard, but I am expecting much greater from our very, incredibly talented local artists. The artwork can exceed the dimensions of the clipboard, but must be able to hang from the clipboard.
All artists must submit their images via e-mail ONLY to exhibitagallery@sbcglobal.net.
No walk-ins and no links. Subject heading must read: CLIPBOARD SUBMISSIONS
