Artwalk 20118 Brochure Cover Art Call for Artists

The City of Moscow and the Moscow Arts Commission are seeking submissions for the Artwalk 2018 cover art.

 

Artwalk 2018 opening receptions will be taking place on Friday, June 15, 2018.  Artwalk 2018 will celebrate the work of a local artist on the cover of the event brochure. Artists may submit up to 2 images of work to be considered for the cover art. All submissions must be new work or work created in the last two years that has not been shown in an art gallery, previous Moscow Artwalks, or other settings. The selected artist will be awarded $500 for purchase of the art piece.  

 

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, January 31, 2018 by 5:00 p.m.

 

Selection Criteria:

• Submissions for consideration should demonstrate work that has a graphic quality; the ability to “read” from a distance and hold interest up close.

 

• Submissions should be varied from recent Artwalk covers (within the last 2 years). The intent of the annual selection is to provide a wide variety of style, media, and subject matter that reflects the diversity of the Artwalk event. To view previous Artwalk Cover Art, visit: www.ci.moscow.id.us/189/Artwalk 

 

• Keep in mind that the audience for Artwalk is broad-based and of all ages and that Artwalk is a summer event. 

 

• Holds quality through reproduction. Keep in mind that the brochure is printed on newsprint.

 

 

Considerations:

The selection committee reserves the option to either select a submitted work or commission a new work of art from the selected artist. 

 

The original work will become the property of the City of Moscow’s Art Collection. A photograph of the original work will appear on the Artwalk brochure, Artwalk poster, City of Moscow’s Facebook page, City of Moscow’s website, in newspaper advertisements, and other publications. To view previous Artwalk Cover Art, visit: www.ci.moscow.id.us/189/Artwalk 

 

If the submitted work is 3D please include multiple images of the piece from a variety of angles including a view from the left, right, front, and back. 

 

The original work selected as the Artwalk 2018 cover art will be featured at the Third Street Gallery (206 East Third Street) during Artwalk 2018 with the option for the selected artist to have a solo exhibit. 

 

The City of Moscow will assume all rights to future reproduction of the winning work for promotional and fundraising purposes. The selected artist agrees to sign a contact with the City regarding the purchase. The artist is responsible for framing – provide work for photographing unframed.
