Exhibition Calls

First the call information begins with a description of what they are looking for regarding content.

I found that most of the  'calls for artists' were very organized: title of the exhibition, dates of showing, deadlines for submissions, dates for the accept/decline, and the delivery of the artwork.  All this as part of the important dates.

Then there is the eligibility information, the jurors and the awards.  Some of the last tidbits of information are the restrictions and the fees, also contact numbers and additional websites for clarification, so it all seems pretty standard and generic.

I believe that some of the awards are really good so it is the positive part of the call, also a single artist can include 3 images for the one fee. good!   As a negative sometime the call juror is in fact a singular juror, so all the art is subjective to that one person.

There seems to be a straight forward approach to the design and that is something I like.  There is so many considerations for the call that too much fluff is distracting.  So, clean to the point information is, in my opinion, the best reflection of the site.

I have the print outs with my additional comments and apologize for being out today.  See you on Monday to make ready for the new installation.
