International ‘FL3TCH3R Exhibit’ at ETSU’s Reece Museum issues call for entries

PLEASE POST & SHARE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AMONG YOUR NETWORKS!

(July 21, 2023) Artists who speak through their work on the issues of the day are invited to enter the 2023 “FL3TCH3R Exhibit: Social & Politically Engaged Art” at East Tennessee State University.

This international juried exhibition will run from Oct. 2-Dec. 8 at the Reece Museum. Now in its 11th year, this event represents the spirit of social and political movements of the U.S. and the world.

The 2023 juror is educator, artist and activist Adam DelMarcelle. After the loss of his brother, Joey, to a fentanyl overdose, DelMarcelle used traditional means of revolutionary art action and resistance, including “poster-bombing” communities with screen-printed materials. When police removed this work, he turned to large-scale building projections, casting 80-foot-tall images onto the sides of buildings in his hometown. In 2018, he projected one such image onto the headquarters of Purdue Pharma, the makers of OxyContin®.

As an educator and artist, DelMarcelle travels widely, sharing his message of the power of art to disrupt, resist and document human existence. His work is included in numerous major collections throughout the U.S. The assistant professor of graphic design at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, holds a BFA from the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design and an MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Art.

This year’s “FL3TCH3R Exhibit” has no specific theme for entries except a general focus on socially and politically engaged art, although the display will highlight visual works depicting “protection of human rights,” according to co-directors Barb, Wayne and Carrie Dyer. The Dyers established the exhibit in memory of their son and brother, Fletcher H. Dyer, a senior ETSU Department of Art and Design student who was in a fatal motorcycle accident in 2009.

“As an artist and graphic designer, Fletcher’s passion for art was a vehicle that allowed him to mirror his passion and marry it to his concern for social and political issues through visual means,” says Fletcher’s mom, Barb Dyer, a children’s advocacy attorney. “Fletcher was always curious and aware of current events. He experimented in innovative ways to create works that investigate contemporary social issues. The ‘FL3TCH3R Exhibit’ aspires to honor Fletcher’s legacy by providing a venue for artists to exhibit artworks that continue the dialogue.”

A portion of the entry fees fund the Fletcher Hancock Dyer BFA Graphic Design Scholarship, which is awarded annually to an ETSU Art and Design student.

The call for entries is open through Aug. 23, with an extended deadline of Aug. 31 for an additional fee. A non-refundable fee of $40 is required for submission of up to three entries, with an additional fee of $10 per artwork/title over three. Submissions will be accepted in the categories of audio/sound, ceramics, digital, fiber, glass, graphic design, jewelry/metals, mixed media (2D and 3D), painting, performance/installation (via video), photography, printmaking, book arts, sculpture, video/film, medical/health care and other.

Artists should submit entries online or consult the prospectus at FL3TCH3Rexhibit.com/downloads/prospectus.pdf.
More than $2,000 in awards will be presented during the exhibition reception and juror talk on Thursday, Nov. 2, at 5 p.m. at the Reece Museum.

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center invites emerging and established artists to submit original artworks to 'Warm and Cozy: art that comforts.' The exhibit will feature artwork that captures the sensation of feeling warm, and the physical and emotional responses we have to being warm. One of our most basic human needs, warmth can signify comfort, security, intimacy, and community connection. Depictions of sun-drenched landscapes and intimate cozy interiors, heartfelt portraits and loving embraces, plush soft sculpture and tactile works, warm wearable art, multi-sensory installations, or nostalgic subjects and family traditions are all welcome. The artwork in this show should envelop the viewer and induce a sense of comfort, security, and contentment.

LAV is a program of artistic residencies within Espacio Lavadero, and was born as a support to the current artistic sector of international emerging contemporary art.

LAV Artist Residency is a project that aims to accommodate artistic creation in situ in the city of Granada, offering accommodation and a space for creation and exhibition based on coexistence and community.

The residence is proposed as a laboratory for experimental creation, as an exhibition and informative place. A space where any creator feels comfortable, whether they are visual artists, musicians or writers.

LAV’s objective is to provide a place for creation and exhibition through activities of Espacio Lavadero, such as talks, presentations or exhibitions, where they can make their work known in the Spanish context.

From 1-4 months until June 30, 2024

Request for proposals:
The Appalachian Center for Craft (ACC) is pleased to receive submission proposals from artists/craftspeople and curators for exhibitions for 2024 and 2025.

ACC Galleries exhibit traditional and contemporary fine craft by emerging, mid- career, and established craft artists. We are seeking well-developed themes that highlight mastery in craftsmanship, featuring new work, pushing the boundaries of craft. Exhibitions can be individual or group shows. If applying as a curator or on behalf of a group, we ask that one person act as a liaison. This will entail collecting paperwork from all parties exhibiting, communicating with the group the requirements and deadlines of the ACC, etc.

At the ACC we are interested in cultivating and showcasing work that strengthens the role of craft in contemporary culture and to create a space for craft artists and curators to experiment freely, beyond their usual craft custom or practice. Artists and curators will be given the opportunity to present work which may not be easily presented in conventional craft venues. Experimentation may be in the areas of style, technique and/or concept. Thus the definition/expectations of contemporary craft may be further explored and investigated, and challenging conversations may ensue.

The selection committee will be looking for bodies of work/installations that are cohesive, well- considered, informative, challenge the artist, the curator, the viewing public, and which promote craft and contemporary craft practices. Exhibitions are two months in duration and a $200 honorarium per exhibition is offered to help support shipping/delivery of artwork. Artwork is insured while on the premises.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Submissions must include the following:

Letter of Intent/Proposal:

• Clear description of theme/concept and the type of work defined by medium, technique, or function (maximum of 500 words).

• Please describe your current artistic practice, the proposed body of work, installation and overall intent or concept of the exhibition.

• If applicable, describe how this body of work or installation differs from your current practice.

• A list of artists and justification for their inclusion if the proposal is curatorial or a group exhibition.

• Proposed or working title of exhibition.

• Please also note the 3 different gallery space layouts (see attached files). Note any preference as to the gallery space you would choose for your proposal.

Support Material:

• A list of works to be exhibited (include artist, title, medium, dimensions, date of work) or if not yet created, a list/description of what is planned for inclusion.

• A curriculum vitae of the principal organizer/curator or artist.

Proposal evaluation in based on:

• The artistic merit of the exhibition proposed

• The quality of the applicants (or group’s) work to date

This Residency takes place fifty miles south of Dallas, Texas in the historic downtown of Corsicana. Two oil booms in the 1890s and 1920s produced an exuberant setting which declined in care and use by the late-20th century, alongside the general compromise of small-town America. Since 2012 alongside downtown rejuvenation, founders of this project have established a collection of sites – 100 West, Storefront, Anteroom, Writers House – and the Corsicana Artist & Writer Residency supports international creative work inside this architecture and narrative bridging the cultural and geographic American South and West. The Residency shares this work in programs for education, exhibition and publication to develop transformative dialogue with audiences near and far.
100 West is a former Odd Fellows lodge virtually unaltered since its 1890s construction, preserved and minimally furnished for intensely focused studio and living space, with pieces designed and built by founding artists in the first-floor wood shop. Across the street is the Anteroom for window-front exhibitions, and two-blocks south is the Residency’s Storefront for books and art. The Writers House accommodates alumni ten-blocks west in the Carriage District neighborhood.

Duration of residency:
2-Month Terms in 2024:
WINTER: January 8 – February 27
SPRING: March 4 – April 30
FALL: October 14 – December 10

Verum invites artists to explore, "The Living Mark" and enter work that is any interpretation of the call. The intention of the call is not to drive the work, but to spark an impetus, and discover unique visions to showcase. ALL MEDIUMS are welcome. Mark making is an integral part of the creative process & the evidence of the artist’ hand is paramount. Successful works seem to be enlivened by these marks (whether abstract or representational). This call emphasizes the process with a focus on the individual style (whether impassioned, studied, or subdued). What kind of marks and/or mediums do you use? Or perhaps you see the theme as a chance to express art as a metaphor for life itself & our relationship to this driving force? What is your personal interpretation of this metaphoric vehicle, “The Living Mark”?

H2O: Shifting Currents
Water is essential to life, without fixed form, reflective, a conductor and wet. It can represent cleansing, purity, power, wisdom, an open heart and mind, and change. After three years of constant change and uncertainty involving much pain and loss, this call asks artists to consider water and what it can represent. We encourage you to submit art that reflects how you think about water and the shifting currents in your life.

For the eleventh exhibition, we want to showcase contemporary works that honor the diverse field of metalworking and jewelry. Jewelry, utensils, adornment, hollowware, furniture, installation, and sculpture will be considered. We encourage the use of a wide variety of materials and techniques.

With an average of 60 works from all over the country (including international presence), this exhibition offers a diverse view of the field in an educational contemporary environment. Regional support as well as a short journey from Houston or Dallas ensures foot traffic through this unique exhibition.

What is art in the 21st century?

The discourse on the nature of art in the 21st century has never been more intriguing. While some creators remain firmly rooted in the traditions of their craft, others boldly venture into uncharted territories, invoking a constant debate around the central question - What Is Art? What makes it valuable?

In the modern art world, it's evident that success doesn't adhere to a single style or approach. The diverse paths taken by some of the world's most renowned and affluent artists underscore the idea that every unique style of art can become valuable.

'Art' is not an easily defined concept. This is why we've invited two of the world's leading art thinkers to share their insights at the opening event of this exhibition on the 8th of September:
Yuxi Wang, International Project Director from Shanghai Himalayas Museum, and Anthony Fawcett, art critic and historian from Oxford University.

Yuxi Wang's vast experience as an International Project Director at a renowned museum equips her with a deep understanding of global art trends and practices. Her insights will be invaluable, providing us a unique perspective on the diverse world of contemporary art.

A highly respected art critic and historian, Anthony Fawcett is renowned for his collaborations with iconic artists such as Man Ray, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Andy Warhol. His significant contributions to the "Anthony Fawcett Archive" project with the Tate Gallery further enhance his status. His insights into "What Is Art?" are sure to be invaluable.

This exhibition is designed not merely to showcase art but to stimulate conversation between divergent paths within contemporary art. The aim is to prove that success in the art world is not a monolithic concept but a spectrum of possibilities, each as valid and valuable as the next.
