Fishers Make-Off Call for Artists

Ignite Studio will host its third annual Make-Off on Saturday, March 21, showcasing the ways artists elevate and utilize the makerspace resources. Selected artists will compete to make an original piece of art related to Ignite equipment, kits, or other in-house materials to highlight the creative possibilities involved in making. Artists will be given 6 hours to complete a work of art. This year's theme is mixed media. Patrons will be able to watch the process of creating art, take part in hands-on activities, and participate in a patron art challenge.

Interested visual artists must be 16 or older. 10 artists will be chosen to compete and assigned an area in the space. To apply, send an email to [email protected] by February 25 with the following: your name, a statement of intent describing what you envision creating and how it relates to Ignite equipment or materials, whether you will need to use any equipment, what materials you will be bringing, and how your piece fits with the mixed media theme. Please attach 3-4 samples of your work.

Prizes: 1st place $1500, 2nd place $750, 3rd place $500. All work will be on display in the Lobby Gallery at Fishers Library from April 1 to May 8.
