Previous Call for Artists:
We will be hanging a show at our new space to coincide with the Hyattsville Arts Festival on May 16 11am-5pm. Find details about the festival here: www.hyattsvillearts.com/ . The festival gets amazing foot traffic, and will bring a lot of attention to our show. It's our goal to organize a show with a lot of affordable art with a great deal to the artist. Our space is small and we want to maximize it's use. We're going to hang a 12x12 show. We're looking for art that can fit 1ft x 1ft spots. All art must have a wire, capable of hanging on a hook, and be less than 10 pounds. Painting, printing, photography, 2-d sculpture, reliefs, and more. If you have a question about acceptable media, or presentation, feel free to reply here. Each slot will be sold for $12.00, all artists must be artdc.org members. We will hang at least 100 works of art, and slots will be first come first serve. All works from paid slots will have 0% commission. 100% of those sales go towards the artist.

The goal is to raise some funds, and move a great deal of art, so please keep your value below $250

We will be donating 10 slots to Steve's art class from Pathways in PG county. These students work so hard to achieve something, and it's our pleasure to provide the public access to their work. We need to give back a little to the community!

We invite all artists to be present for the art festival and to bring catalogs. There will be space for cards, artist info, statements, and more.

The show is all inclusive / first come first serve, however any art visible from the street must be PG-13.

Opening: May 16 11am-5pm.
5710 Baltimore Ave, Hyattsville MD

Enlarged opening date. Some keep missing it.

Jesse · « **Reply #2 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:23:23 PM »

Excellent. Use the Link on the Side Bar of the forum.
For the take down, for artists that make arrangements a head of time, we can store a small amount of work at the Gallery for pick up at the next opening.

Before drop off, we will need a list of works in the following format:

We encourage artists, who are interested in more slots, to bring more work at the drop off, there may be room for more. First come first serve.

I am interested in participating - but I will be running a 1/2 marathon on that day around then. How long will the gallery be open for hanging work?

As for the 16th, I will be there early. I'm working on setting up some possible music for the event.
I have some friends that are into some wild avant garde jazz. heavy improvisational stuff. I'd love to have a day of music.

The closest metro stop is 1 mile away (Prince George's Plaza).

Heather,
If you can't make it at noon on May 3rd I'm sure someone else who's participating (like me) would be happy to hang your work for you if you arrange a time to meet up beforehand.

There's also the possibility, that there are plenty of folks around with cars on the day that may be able to pick you up from the metro.

For those who haven't seen the building, here's a pic by Pelican Arts:

We are in the left space next to the gym. There's amazing street visibility. A great deal of the work is visible, even when we're not open!

Hi Michael,

Very exciting - I'll take 3 spots, Jesse! Doing the math and Paypal-ing momentarily, e-mail me if I do it wrong

I can offer rides to people from the metro, just e-mail me directly at jbishop@gmail.com.
