CALL FOR ENTRIES – SMart Multimedia Art Festival

Application deadline: March 12, 2009

'We are looking for multimedia at which has been created today,
because yesterday is already art history,' says Dr. Zora Carrier,
curator of the SMart Multimedia Art Festival. Where is tomorrow in
multimedia art? That is the motto of the 4th SMart Festival in Grand
Rapids, Michigan (USA). Artists are invited to submit applications
showcasing their fresh new work for this year's SMart Multimedia Art
Festival.

>From April 1-7, 2009, the Festival takes center stage as an
international festival of creativity. SMart is a collaborative
multimedia art festival founded by Open Concept Gallery. The
exhibitions and events attract hundreds of participants in and around
the area's most important cultural institutions. Contributors to this
year's SMart Festival include: the Arts Council of Greater Grand
Rapids, Aquinas College, ByrneBoehm Gallery, Calvin College, the Grand
Rapids Community Media Center, Grand Valley State University, Kendall
College of Art and Design, Ferris State University, and the Urban
Institute for Contemporary Arts.

The SMart Festival presents the latest trends in multimedia art
unrestricted by scripted format and will open with a seven-day
festival featuring a variety of events. The week-long event showcases
multimedia art works chosen by a panel of international curators. As a
festival of new art, the SMart Festival provides a realistic
assessment of the current state of development in this genre. It is
this that defines its function as a gauge of aesthetics.

Thinking outside the box, the SMart Festival is looking for new ways
for presenting art. We are particularly interested in developing new
forms for the presentation of media art beyond the gallery
environment. For the past several years, the SMart Festival has
commissioned a new team of curators and designers to create an
innovative exhibition design, both technically and artistically, for
presenting exhibitions in the context of city life. We are pleased to
have earned the attention and broad recognition of a highly
specialized audience in years past for our pioneering work in this
field. In this new frontier, only a small number of convincing
approaches have been exploited.


The Application deadline is March 12, 2009. All information and entry
forms can be found at www.SMart.OpenConceptGallery.org

Application forms must be completed for each entry.

Please also include the following:

A brief biography of yourself of 200 words or less, along with an
artist's statement. In the case of multiple artists of a work,
information on each artist is required. Please provide a short summary
of each work submitted including title and year of production.

Entries must be received no later than March 12, 2009.
