Sanchez Art Center: 50-50 Show

Accepted artists will create 50 small works on 6" x 6" MDF panels provided by Sanchez Art Center over 50 days (June 17 - August 5, 2013). Each artist chooses a theme for their 50 pieces and uses the same medium for all works. The exhibition runs August 23 - September 29, 2013.

Eligibility: California artists age 18 and over. Entry fee is $25, with an additional $75 due upon acceptance to cover materials and exhibition expenses. All fine art media is accepted; artists may prime panels or attach canvas, drawings, watercolor paper, or wall-mounted 3D sculpture (must fit within 6" x 6" x 6"). Sanchez Art Center will provide 50 unprimed MDF panels with pre-drilled nail holes, hanging supplies, and templates. All artworks will be for sale with SAC taking a 30% commission. Suggested pricing is $50-$175 per piece (not mandatory). All works by an individual artist must have the same price, except the optional framed 50th piece.

Artists are responsible for hanging and removing their own works. The 6" panels will be displayed in a 7x7 grid with 1" spacing between panels, unframed. Installation occurs August 17-19, 1-5 pm. Artists must deliver all 50 pieces at once with no partial deliveries or wet paintings. Each artist will prepare an 8.5" x 11" bio and artist statement to display. Artists are encouraged to gallery sit 1-3 hours during the show. Accepted artists will be notified June 6. Panel pickup and $75 fee payment occur June 15, 1-5 pm. Label text is due August 6.
