About This Call
The Town of Taos and Taos Arts Council are seeking Taos County artists' artwork for a lamppost banner campaign to highlight Taos as an arts destination, celebrate local creativity, and beautify the historic district. Banners will be on view from approximately April 1 – October 31, 2021, within the Town of Taos. The campaign welcomes an array of images related to any of the arts including visual art, music, writing, dance, theatre, and similar disciplines.
Entrants must be artists at least 18 years of age, currently living and working within Taos County. Work must have been produced within the last 5 years. Each individual or artist representative may enter one piece with one image. A group may enter one piece worked on collectively under one collective name. All media that can be photographed and displayed visually on a banner are accepted, including painting, pottery, sculpture, printmaking, photography, projection and installation, glass, jewelry, metal work, fiber art, and non-traditional media. The entry fee is $22.00, which includes a $20 fee to offset banner project expenses and a $2 addition to fund replacement banners.
Applicants must submit one JPG/JPEG image under 5mb to the CaFE website. Selected applicants will need to submit a second high-resolution image (PSD, TIFF, JPG, or PNG format) at least 200 dpi at 18"w x 30"h to the Taos Arts Council for printing. Submissions will be judged by blind jury selection based on aesthetic impact, diversity of medium and artist background, suitability for the medium, appropriateness for public display, and legibility for drive-by viewers and pedestrians. Selected artists will be featured on one of forty-one 30" x 60" or twenty-five 18" x 30" lamp post banners (printed front and back) in locations chosen by the Town. Winners will receive their banners to keep once the campaign ends. A list of banner artists will be posted by February 15, 2021. Promotions will include features on Taos.org and TaosArtsCouncil.org, social media posts, and coverage in local and online media.
