red... A National Call for Artists

I have just completed the prospectus for the upcoming National Juried Exhibition titled, "red". If you're an exhibiting artist, this is a great opportunity.

The exhibition will be presented at Gallery 180 of The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago. It will include images and objects containing—at least—a touch of red. The exhibition will be on display September 14 through November 11 with a reception on Friday, October 9th. Entry deadline is August 6th.

This National Juried Exhibition is open to all artists, living or working in the U.S. Work must be original. All media except video and installation are eligible. Each artist may submit up to 3 pieces for the entry fee of $30.

The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago will purchase at least one piece from the exhibition, for inclusion into the school’s Permanent Collection. The Collection is diverse and can be viewed on location or on line at: gallery180.com.

What's to Come...

I plan to use this blog to share general information as well as personal insights regarding my experience in the Chicago Art World. I'm also going to use this venue to shamelessly promote the various exhibitions at Gallery 180 of The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago.

That said, please be aware that there is a call for submissions for a National Juried Exhibition titled, "From Nature". This exhibition is an exploration of all things found in nature... landscape, the figure, still life and abstraction are all valid entries. The exhibition is a benefit for The Ragdale Foundation, which has generously provided a two-week artist residency as one of the show awards. The entry deadline is March 14.
