Cotton Anniversary: CALL TO ARTISTS

I'm very blessed to be in Bisbee, among a wonderful community of artists and creatives. November marks the two-year anniversary since Heather Green Studios opened to the public at 27 Subway. To celebrate, I am continuing the tradition of inviting artists to submit artwork for an exhibition. Last year, artists submitted work that measured 11"x11" and had a paper element for my "Paper Anniversary." This year, for my "Cotton Anniversary," the only parameter is that all pieces must measure 12"x12" -- all media, subject matter, and styles are welcome. Click here for entry forms.

Although the parameters are "square," I welcome variations on the theme.

Last year, Sharon Lee submitted a circular work whose diameter was in keeping with the dimensions. Alan Potter entered work that was three-dimensional, and satisfied the measurements of height and width without being a cube.

 

Works that are accepted in this exhibition will have some great coverage and traffic. The exhibit will open on Saturday, November 10th and end on Saturday, December 8th, which both fall on the night of the Bisbee After 5 artwalk. Furthermore, the exhibit will be part of the Bisbee After 5 Small Town Holiday artwalk over the Thanksgiving weekend. Many visitors will be in town for the 30th Annual Historic Home Tour and 11th Annual Art Chair Auction.

"Cotton Anniversary" will also have coverage in the local newspapers and via social media, including e-newsletters, facebook, twitter, and google+, through Heather Green Studios, Bisbee After 5, and the Bisbee Enclave!

 

Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions! Entry forms are available at the studio, on the bulletin board outside the Bisbee post office, and online.
