Attention artists and LA residents - please sign up for future calls for entry and show announcements at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Steve Lambert Founder/Co-Director BudgetGallery.org OPEN CALL FOR ENTRIES Budget Gallery, Los Angeles "Never Odd or Even" Show May 10 - May 17, 2005 Opening Reception - May 10, 5-8pm Deadline for Submissions: May 1, 2005 http://la.budgetgallery.org/ contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------- Introduction: ------------- This show marks the southward expansion of the Budget Gallery to the Los Angeles metropolitan area. What we're about: The Budget Gallery's goal is to provide high art at low prices to unsuspecting customers. We achieve this goal by organizing gallery style art shows in the unused public spaces found in urban areas. From empty walls to empty buildings, the Budget Gallery uses any space that is available and highly visible during the day. Space is often prepared with white paint and signage so work will be as professionally presented as possible. Pieces will be labeled with the artists name, materials used, and asking price for the work. There will be an opening reception on May 10th. All pieces not sold by the end of the opening reception stay up for the course of the week with a price and contact phone number for interested buyers. The gallery is in co-opted public space with no security. Any work not sold at the reception can be sold, stolen, or vandalized during the rest of the show. ----------------- Call for entries: ----------------- All work that meets guidelines will be accepted for the show - in line with the Budget Gallery's belief that any art is better than the commercial advertising which dominates most public spaces. Work will either be purchased, stolen, or vandalized. Artists are encouraged to make pieces for this show with these inevitabilities in mind. Ideal pieces should catch the eye, capture the imagination, and invite extended viewing from passing crowds. Art that addresses the issues of public space are especially encouraged, but again, all work will be accepted. Artists are encouraged to use the Budget Gallery as an opportunity to show work they may not normally present in other venues. Masterpieces are not required. Work in media other than the artists primary media is encouraged, along with older pieces, works in progress, studies, and so on. Work should be priced to sell to the general public. All pieces not sold at the opening will be left on the wall for 1 week, after which they will be placed elsewhere. Those interested in your piece will be instructed to remove it, take it home, and contact the gallery regarding payment. Commission is arbitrary, optional, and decided by the artist. Work will not be returned. ----------- Guidelines: ----------- 1. All work must have our entry form attached (download from http://la.budgetgallery.org ) 2. Work must be able to be hung on a wall. 3. Please avoid pieces larger than 40 inches by 40 inches or any piece heavier than 25 pounds. If your piece exceeds these dimensions, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] before submitting your work. 4. Please deliver art with your preferred mounting hardware supplied. If no mounting hardware is supplied, work will be hung in the most convenient way possible (Starting with wood screws, then staples, twine, or tape). 6. Please submit a slide or digital photo of work (if possible) for our website. 7. Work must be received by May 1st, 2005 ----------- Submissions: ----------- Please send all entries to: The Budget Gallery c/o Christian Spruell 427 South Barranca Avenue #12 Covina, CA 91723 Please make sure to attach a submission form to your work (download from http://la.budgetgallery.org ).
