Indiana Call for Artists

EL Design Studios (art consultants) is recruiting Indiana and Midwest artists, galleries, and art organizations whose work may be considered for purchase and display at a hospital in Indiana. Artists are invited to submit both 2D and 3D work, with an emphasis on nature and/or Indiana-inspired art. Artwork can be readily available for purchase or artists may be open to commissions.

The call is open to residents of Indiana and the Midwest, with priority given to Indiana residents. Artists with addresses outside of Indiana will be reviewed by EL Design Studios and may be considered at the discretion of the art consultant. Submissions must include 5 to 10 images of available work or sold pieces that could potentially be commissioned, along with image descriptions (not to exceed 500 characters per image), a biography (not to exceed 1 page), and a resume (not to exceed 1 page). Image descriptions should include title, year made, medium, dimensions (width x height), and wholesale price. Please indicate if artwork has been sold.

Artwork will be selected based on suitability for a healing, public hospital setting. The hospital seeks art that has a high likelihood of positively affecting viewers and promoting a calming response. Avoid threatening, controversial, or political imagery. Artwork containing graphic depictions of violence, sexually explicit imagery, and/or nudity will be disqualified. Three-dimensional pieces will be evaluated based on safety considerations. All artists with work considered for use will be subject to a background check. Artists will be notified of the selection panel's decision by July 2021. All questions must be submitted in writing to [email protected].
