Open Call For Art: "Surreal Soiree 20 Year Anniversary Fundraiser" at Art Sanctuary
Aurora Gallery is proud to be a sponsor of this wonderful event celebrating 20 years of Art Sanctuary! Artists, please carefully read below for all the details.
Details:
- The theme is surreal artwork. The loose definition being “finding magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional.” A lot of artists pull from dream-like or subconscious imagery, sometimes creating illogical but thought provoking work. You can look at the Surrealism art movement for inspiration!
- Final deadline to drop off your artwork is Sunday November 3rd from 12-7pm at Aurora Gallery & Boutique | 1262 S. Shelby St
- The event is Saturday November 16th (more details to come)
- Artists who submit will receive one free ticket to the Surreal Soiree 20 year anniversary fundraising event for Art Sanctuary
- You do NOT need to email your work beforehand for approval. This is an open call, open submission art show.
- Artwork may be dropped off at Aurora Gallery and Boutique OR Art Sanctuary. Aurora’s open hours are Thursdays 3-pm, Friday-Saturdays 12-8pm and Sundays 12-7pm weekly. Make sure you say you are dropping off for the Surreal Art Show benefiting Art Sanctuary so there is no confusion. There will be a form at the desk for you to fill out when you drop off your artwork.
- Pieces need to total $500 or less
- 3 piece maximum submission, all submissions cannot total more than $500. For instance you may submit one for $200, then another for $200, and the last for $100. Or two at $250, and so on.
- No size requirement, but 4 feet or under is preferred.
- Any medium is welcome as long as it is an original piece of artwork (NO AI art)
