?Good Eats: An Exhibit About Food??Call for Entries
The Kalamazoo Book Arts Center (KBAC) announces a call to artists for the juried exhibition ?Good Eats: An Exhibit About Food? which will be held in the KBAC Gallery, April 6?27, 2012.
From Dutch still-life paintings to Campbell?s Soup cans, our obsession with food is a readymade subject for art! Open to all emerging and established artists, this exhibition will feature two-dimensional works of art?fine prints, paintings, and collages?that incorporate food in their subject. There is no charge to participate.
Artists may submit two entries for consideration in the exhibit. Submissions must be sent as jpeg files via email to info@kalbookarts.org by February 25, 2012. Digital files must be limited to 72 dpi jpegs with a maximum pixel dimension of 1200 in either direction. Please submit artist?s name, dimensions, media, email address, and phone number with emailed entry. The maximum dimension for framed work is 36? in either direction. KBAC Director Jeff Abshear and Studio Coordinator Katie Platte will choose the works for the exhibit. Artists will be informed of the decision by March 8, 2012.
This exhibit will share it?s grand opening with our Seventh Annual Edible Book Festival.
