Art Competitions & Other Opportunitie$ from DARts

This page includes all our art ops. There is no mailing list.

Read all the rules before you send opportunities.

The Rules

These rules are the only rules. Any Opportunity is acceptable if artists in Dallas, Texas, USA are eligible.

If you ignore these simple rules, I'll simply run your link — or less.

Amateurish "opportunities" will be made fun of. Beware of those who make grandiose promises, like that rich patrons will see your work and pay you big money and give you shows. Know better. Red text warns. Pink type indicates dates & deadlines. Editor's comments are in gray.

If I do not make links of link information, it is because I have serious doubts about that opportunity. Caveat artor.

Text in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS will be deleted, making text around it look stupid.

Do not abbreviate. Spell everything out. Street, avenue, Texas, University, etc.

If your opportunity does not include an email address or a URL, and a deadline, it will NOT be included.

List the exact URL of the portion of your site that deals with this opportunity, not just the home page. Enter URLs in full http://www.whatever.whatever format. Do not send HTML.

Email the shortest possible version of your notice. I'm not your typist. I won't waste space or time on information you should have on a web page. Snail mail will be ignored. Send ops to our latest email listed near the top of the Contact Us Page using "OPs" as the subject.

Instead of submitting new information, if you need to do that, submit the whole thing again but with the new information. The more I am involved with puzzling pieces together, the more likely I will avoid it.

This page is not arranged chronologically. I add only to the top of the text below.

Listing here does not in any way imply DallasArtsRevue or its publisher J R Compton supports or recommends any of these "opportunities," if they even are opportunities. Ops without deadlines will be deleted at inopportune moments.

If you send the same opportunity more than once, I will no longer run your opportunities. One notice is information. More is spam, and I'll delete your emails

Scams

If you get emails from South America or Nigeria or Irving, Texas promising to send you a "certified cashier cheque" (or other wording) for your art or your boat or your Sousaphone, pay attention. It is very possibly — if not likely — they are attempting to scam you.

The classic format involves them sending you a check for more than you agreed to charge. You are expected to go to a bank, cash the (probably bogus) check and send the difference back to the thieves who are preying on your desire to sell art.

I (the editor) know it's a scam, because many DallasArtsRevue artists are being targeted.

That said, many people see something on the internet and assume it is for sale, even if no price is mentioned. They flail about attempting to buy it or multiples of it (warning! warning!).

There are legitimate buyers of art out there, and they may contact you, and you may do business with them. But pay attention. Google the phrasing they use, and you'll find pages warning about scams. I googed "certified cashier cheque" and found More internet scams, Wedding Photographer, Musical Instrument Sales and Fraud Attempts on your Classified Advertisements on the first two pages of results.

, a mural series project sponsored by the Deep Ellum Association and the Deep Ellum Foundation, embraces the new and changing face of Deep Ellum's future. The theme, “ ,” speaks both to the recent history of the Deep Ellum tunnel and how artists have traditionally played a key role in the development of the neighborhood.

Deep Ellum has always prided itself on being an artist community and a collaborative environment. In reclaiming it’s artistic roots and a strong sense of community, there exists a respect for original works of art. Community leaders and neighborhood activists developed the idea for a mural series competition to assist in attracting artists from around the state and engaging them in the Deep Ellum community. Conceived to help beautify the community, the Re*Cov*Er Deep Ellum Mural Series seeks to regain original works of art to help create a new mural district in the heart of the Deep Ellum neighborhood. Artist and gallery owner, Frank Campagna, who served as artistic director for Tunnelvisions and the Deep Ellum Art Walk, will coordinate each installment of Re*Cov*Er.

The competition is open to all Texas artists, designers, students, teachers and community groups. Either working individually or in teams, they are invited to submit mural designs that honor the artistic roots of Deep Ellum. A panel of judges and community leaders will select ten images for the public murals on Main, Commerce and Canton Streets. The competition will be conducted in collaboration with local galleries, the Dallas Arts Magnet School and the Society of Figurative Arts. Studio Fling will host an exhibition of the submissions for a public comment opportunity in early May. A call for entries to launch the Deep Ellum Mural Series Competition will be announced March 31, 2008, with a deadline for submissions at noon on April 30, 2008

The first phase of the mural series, painted last year, is located along Elm Street and honors “Music Legends” with a connection to Dallas. The second installment of the Re•cov •er Deep Ellum Mural Series will encompass Main and Commerce Street and is not limited to any specific theme. Submissions for consideration may include people, places, or events. The costs of paint for the murals will be sponsored by the Deep Ellum Association, The Deep Ellum Foundation, property owners and private donations.

A special ceremony will be held to celebrate the winning artists and unveil the second phase of the murals on May 25, 2008. Three top prizes will be awarded, plus an additional People's Choice award. The winning artists will receive a commission for their mural and will also be featured in the Deep Ellum Mural Series virtual tour documenting the work of each artist. The Re*Cov*Er mural series competition will be held annually and murals will be on display for a period of up to one year. There is a $20.00 entry fee. For more information please contact Alison Welsh at 214.748.4332 or savedeepellum.org.

The 5th Annual Hecho en Dallas

Apparently this info is not available online, but since Dallas' highly overrated Latino Culture Center is technologically ignorant, their website hasn't been updated in months, the application procedure is idiotically complex, and it's a short calendar, I'm taking pity on them and putting this here despite them breaking all the rules [above].

The show is a good one but in a sort of an ugly step-sister way. Non Latinos often get into the show.

July 24 Exhibit opens to the public at 6p.m.

Eligible artists are invited to submit recent work that has not been exhibited and was created within the last 18 months. Artwork in all fine art mediums will be considered (paintings, sculptures, works on paper, photography, etc.) Due to space consideration, work should be less than 15ft. overall (height + width + length), with no one dimension measuring more than 7ft. Final measures must be inclusive of frame if applicable.

For Hecho en Dallas / Made in Dallas, a jury of [unnamed, even at this late date, which probably means they're not paying attention] "Dallas area curators and arts experts" will review the artists' entries and select the artists and artwork for the exhibition. The Latino Cultural Center reserves the right to make final decisions regarding the selection and installation of artworks for this exhibition.

Please submit no more than five images of the artworks that you would like considered for the exhibition. Work samples may be submitted in slides or digital formats; please do not submit original artwork for jurying.

Please choose only ONE format for the entry (either all slides or all digital). Combination entries of both slides and digital images will not be reviewed.

Please include a resume and artist statement along with a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Please submit up to five slides clearly labeled on the front with the artist's name, title of the artwork, date, size and medium.

Include a separate sheet with the above information.

Accepted artists will be notified by mail/e-mail. The slides/CDs of the work not selected will be returned if you include a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Accepted slides/digital entries will remain in the possession of the Latino Cultural Center for the exhibit's promotional purposes. If chosen, artists will be required to submit one or two of the pieces they have submitted.

Accepted submissions should be delivered to the Latino Cultural Center located at:

2600 Live Oak, Dallas, TX 75204 on July 8, 2008 10a.m. to 4p.m.

All work is to be picked up at the Latino Cultural Center on August 25, 2008 between 10a.m. - 4p.m.

The 5th Annual Hecho en Dallas / Made in Dallas is a juried exhibition that showcases recent unexhibited work by professional artists who are active in the Dallas/ North Texas region. The exhibition was conceived by the Latino Cultural Center to recognize the talented pool of artists whose creative endeavors give vitality to the cultural environment of our region. The Latino Cultural Center is proud to host this exhibition for its 5th year.

The Cradle Project

seeks artists to make and donate a cradle from re-cycled materials for an exhibition slated for June 2008 in Albuquerque, NM. Our goal is to have 1,000 cradles.

Each artist is asked to find a sponsor (or many) for their cradle in the total amount of $100, all of these proceeds going to fund orphan relief in Africa. We need to receive the cradles by April 18. We are seeking sponsors for artists who are unable to manage the money part, so do not let that be a deterrent to participate. There will be an on-line auction of the cradles to raise additional funds for this cause. (Funds for the exhibition are a separate matter, all of the funds are being managed by 501c.3 organizations.)

Forms and additional information available at: thecradleproject.org

If you have questions, you may contact contact the project through the web site.

(for site editor, this is in case you need to contact me, I don't think this info needs to be putlic. We
are currently running an ad in Art in America.Thanks.)

Elsewhere Artist Collaborative
2008 residencies for artists, writers, and cultural producers

Elsewhere, an arts production site and experimental museum in downtown Greensboro, NC, is seeking artists, writers, and cultural producers for residencies during its Spring, Summer, and Fall 2008 seasons. Set within a former thrift store housing a 58-year collection of American surplus, thrift, and antiques, Elsewhere invites experimental creators to utilize the immense collection of objects to pursue site-specific material, conceptual, and/or technologically-based projects. Elsewhere's building—two storefronts on the ground floor, a 14-room boarding house on the second, and warehouse on the third—provides dynamic architectures for the creation and installation of works. Artists live and work within transforming installations; these interactive environments become platforms for re-conceptualizing the theory and practice of art-making as an ongoing process of exchange in community. Experimenting with museum-as-medium within a store where nothing is for sale, Elsewhere offers an unparalleled framework for art practices, processes, and productions outside the traditional gallery, museum, and residency systems. The complete call for artists, residency brochure (PDF), and application deadlines are available at www.elsewhereelsewhere.org/residencies.html. Email George Scheer, Collaborative Director, at residencies@elsewhereelsewhere.org for an application.

Spring: April 1st to May 31st (final deadline January 25th 5pm)
Summer: June 1st to August 31st (final deadline February 22nd 5pm)
Fall: September 1st to October 31st (final deadline May 23rd 5pm)

Egolamento "2˚ Premio Internazionale Di Pittura Arte Laguna

It's in Italian. www.artelaguna.it/regolamento2premio.asp

Artists! Host your own Art Show!

That's how this opportunity was bannered in an email to DARts.

"Weekly rental available of professional art gallery located in the Downtown Arts District Panoramic view of Dallas from the 46th floor. In building parking and security. Call Susan Scott 214 697-1245 or email susan.scott@upthestairsgallery.com. 1700 Pacific Avenue, Suite 4620, Dallas 75201.

I asked some questions. Susan replied: "Yes, it is a real art gallery ... museum quality hanging system, track lighting, wine bar and a million dollar view from floor to ceiling windows. It costs $850/week.

"The name is Up the Stairs Gallery. The weekly rental is $850. I have had numerous events there with a flow of 100 to 150 people. Parking is unlimited and the charge varies depending on the location choice.....from meters to $3 per evening for in the building to $6 for all day/night across the street.

"I currently use it as my studio and gallery but not full time....I hate to see it not being used to it's full potential since I spent so much money on remodeling it. I also thought that this would be a great opportunity for artists to host their own art show in a real destination gallery (and keep their own profits) without having the huge expense of owning the space all year round."
