AIB Artists: CALL FOR PROPOSALS | AIB Mass Ave Storefront Art Project

AIB Massachusetts Avenue Storefront Art Project

A juried exhibition celebrating The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University’s
Centennial Year and upcoming move to Porter Square

 

Calling AIB students, alumni, faculty and staff!

As you may know, The Art Institute of Boston will be moving from Kenmore Square to the Lesley University campus in Porter Square in the next few years.  In addition, in the 2012/13 academic year, AIB will be celebrating its Centennial year, having educated artists and designers since 1912.  To celebrate our 100^th year and to prepare for our move to Porter Square, we are hosting the AIB Massachusetts Avenue Storefront Art Project in the fall of 2012.

 

We are very excited about our future neighborhood and would like to start building relationships with our new neighbors. Towards this goal, we will mount exhibitions in many storefront windows along Massachusetts Avenue near Lesley’s University Hall and Doble campuses.  The goal of the project is to showcase a vibrant, exciting group of storefront exhibitions created by the AIB community all along this portion of Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge. All current AIB students, alumni, faculty, and staff members are invited to submit a proposal for a storefront display.  Work in all media is encouraged.  A stipend of $250 will be awarded to all proposals selected.

 

From the Doble Campus along Massachusetts Avenue up to the Porter Square Shopping Center, selected storefront windows will display work created by AIB students, alumni, faculty and staff.  Already, a number of stores have offered to host exhibits in their storefront windows and we expect more to commit to such exhibitions in the coming weeks. Each store boasts a unique personality and takes great pride in the presentation of their windows to the public. These windows are their connection to the outside world, and attract passers-by with their beautiful displays. Storefronts have been selected based on visual potential, their eagerness to work with our artists, and their willingness to let the artwork take the lead.

 

So, we invite you to submit your most compelling work! Work may be two- or three-dimensional such as painting, prints, or photographs; videos or animations; illustration or design pieces; sculptures or site-specific installations; to name a few. You may offer work you have already created or you may choose to create something entirely new for this event. Proposals may be submitted by individuals or by collaborative teams.

 

Submissions will be accepted online from Thursday, May 17 until Friday, June 22.  The application portal can be reached at aib.slideroom.com. Be sure to select AIB Storefront Art Project under Active Programs. Submission costs are $10 per proposal, which will let you upload up to 10 images and supporting documents. Visit our project blog aibstorefrontart.wordpress.com to see more detailed submission guidelines and to see the potential spaces your work may inhabit. Check back frequently as we are actively adding new host windows. Windows sizes range from small, enclosed bays to large, floor-to-ceiling panes that extend across the width of the store. Photos of participating windows are available on our project blog.

 

Winning submissions will be selected by a jury and will be paired up with appropriate host windows.

Selected proposals will be notified by August 1, and will be put in touch with their host business to work out the details. Each window is different and the relationship between the store’s displayed product and artwork will be defined in collaboration with the host business. Work will likely be installed in early September and removed in mid-October. Actual dates may shift slightly and will be verified shortly. Each display will include a specially designed placard with the name of the artist(s), their relationship to AIB (student, alumni, faculty, etc.), a brief artist statement, and the AIB/Lesley logos.

The full details are attached below and also available at aibstorefrontart.wordpress.com.

Please contact Denise Driscoll at ddrisco2@lesley.edu or at 508-561-0306 with questions.

Call to Artists: Outwitting History

A Zullo Gallery Center for the Arts / Medfield Memorial Public Library Juried Exhibition
Open to all artists!

Outwitting History by Aaron Lansky is Medfield's very first 'one town one book' selection. This true story of a young Massachusetts man's project to gather Yiddish books turns into a far-reaching mission to help preserve a dying culture. As he picks up books from an older generation of immigrants he hears stories of family, homeland, politics, religion, language, and art. In other words, all that is dear to them.

Culture is the summation of who we are collectively, the pieces that were passed on to us from past generations and what we in turn pass on to the next generation. So as a community we will be exploring who we are, how we came to be here, and what we wish to pass on.

Entries should reflect on the theme of your own personal cultural legacy:
Where do you come from? • What is your heritage? • Who are your people? • What is your past?

TO ENTER:

The outwitting history juried exhibition is open to all artists (18 years or older) working in all mediums. Applicants may submit up to three works - on CD or as photographic prints or by email (files must be in .jpg form with a resoluation of at least 300 dpi). Work must have been created within the past two years. The gallery requests a $20 donation from each applicant. Check should be made payable to the Zullo Gallery.

Each application must include:
1. Artist's name, address, phone number, and email address
2. Title, size, medium, and date each work was completed.
