Calls for Artists

• CALL FOR ARTISTS:

• Green Eyed Lady Fragrance Co. (formerly Scents & Sensibilities) in Lake Geneva

We are beginning the West End Porch Series, a series of readings, drama and informational talks this May at the porch in front of our shop, at 220 Cook St., Lake Geneva, WI, under Bistro 220 (more information here: 

http://www.greeneyedladyfragrance.com/West-End-Summer-Porch-Series.html).

We're reaching out to you to help us find local artists who either have some sort of spoken art form (we can't do music, unfortunately, but we could do drama), or who can do a short (15-30 minute) presentation about their art.

Please feel free to forward this information, add it to your website, to share ideas with us or if you have questions, please call me, Mark Stewart, at 773-220-9184.

6th Annual Prairie Art Exhibition

Horizontal Grandeur Call to Artists   Based on Bill Holm's essay of the same name, the Horizontal Grandeur Call to Artists has been placed and is open until April 19th, 2013.  The Stevens County Historical Society & Museum, based in the college town of Morris, Minnesota is proud to be hosting the 6th Annual Horizontal Grandeur. The exhibition will open the second Friday in July and run through October of 2013. If you know an artist who lives in a state with a tall grass, short grass, coastal or any type of prairie in the United States of Canada, please share this call with them.   The museum has a website that can be reached by clicking here or on the iconic image of Bill Holm, taken by Brian Peterson for the Star-Tribune.  On the website you can download copies of the essay, learn more about the venue or eligibility requirements or submit works for jury consideration.  All genres and mediums are considered within the exhibition guidelines.  Like Holm, the museum encourages artists to think with a prairie eye.  The prairie eye doesn't just see the large prairie sky or landscape, it is able to focus on the tiniest wild flower, blue grass stem, duckling or community.   There is a jury fee but pieces have been sold in the past to offset the jury fee and shipping costs.  For more questions, you can call 320-589-1719 Monday-Friday, 9-5 and or by emailing grandeur@stevenshistorymuseum.com.  You can also like Horizontal Grandeur on Facebook.   WHEN   Call--January 18, 2013 thru April 19, 2013. Exhibition--July 12th thru October 28, 2013 WHERE Stevens County Historical Society 116 W. 6th Street Morris, MN 56267 320-589-1719 www,stevenshistorymusuem.com
