SNO GLO Community Artist Call
Shreveport, LA - [Date] - artspace is thrilled to invite artists of all ages and backgrounds to create a mesmerizing winter spectacle, the "SNO GLO @ artspace" exhibition. From November 10 to December 30, 2023, artspace will undergo an enchanting transformation, turning into a realm of wonder adorned with a symphony of creatively designed snowflakes that will illuminate the holiday season.
SNO GLO @ artspace is not just an artistic endeavor—it's a celebration of community creativity. Artists and creatives of all ages, from school students to seasoned makers, are encouraged to contribute their unique vision to this extraordinary showcase. This is an unparalleled opportunity to unite generations in a shared artistic endeavor that will warm hearts and inspire imaginations.
The heart of Northwest Louisiana's artistic spirit will shine through in the 100 original, artistically crafted snowflakes that will grace the Winter exhibition. Each snowflake will tell a tale of creativity, diversity, and unity—representing the vibrant tapestry of our community.
The exhibition opens doors to a diverse range of styles and materials. Whether it's bold Styrofoam statements, delicate fabric masterpieces, intricate crochet creations, or captivating 3D-printed marvels, every medium is a canvas for your imagination to thrive. Embrace the spirit of the holidays and let your creativity soar.
Artists of all ages can craft up to five designs for consideration, each reflecting their unique perspective on this spectacular exhibition's theme. The jury panel will select designs to be commissioned as larger-than-life snowflakes. Each snowflake, standing between 18” to 36” in size, will hang from the ceiling of artspace. The exhibition space will be brought to life with color-changing LED lights and mesmerizing mirror balls, creating an enchanting visual symphony that will evolve throughout the day.
SRAC (Shreveport Regional Arts Council) will commission chosen snowflakes based on a submission of a "to scale" design. Compensation packages will vary, offering artists and creatives of all ages the opportunity to earn between $60 and $300 per commissioned snowflake. As a special addition, a $500 "Ornament Prize" will be awarded to up to five selected designs, which will be transformed into 3D-printed holiday ornaments available for purchase.
Submission details are available on the artspace website, offering various avenues to share your creativity, from digital submissions to hand-delivered templates. The submission deadline is Saturday, September 23, by 4:00 PM.
Mark your calendars for the magical opening night on Friday, November 10, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, when artspace will unveil this heartwarming snowflake extravaganza.
