CALL FOR ARTISTS
A 40th Anniversary “Year of Edward Hopper” Presentation
Small Matters of Great Importance: Interior/Exterior
Exhibition Dates: September 22 – November 13, 2011
Edward Hopper House Art Center welcomes applicants to its 18th annual Small Matters of Great Importance national juried exhibition, held in two gallery rooms of Edward Hopper’s birthplace and childhood home. The exhibition celebrates small works that make big statements despite their size.
Jurors: Avis Berman & Elizabeth Thompson Colleary
Art historian Avis Berman is the author of “Edward Hopper’s New York” and many other books and articles on American art. She wrote the catalogue essay for Edward Hopper, Prelude: The Nyack Years at Edward Hopper House. Elizabeth Thompson Colleary is a Hopper Scholar and Curator of Edward Hopper, Prelude: The Nyack Years and is currently writing books on Josephine Nivison Hopper and the Hoppers’ two-artist marriage.
Eligibility: Open to all artists 18 and over and all media, including drawing, painting, photography, prints, mixed media, collage, computer art, video, wall relief, and sculpture. Artwork must not exceed 12” x 12” (or 144” square inches) including frame. All work submitted must have been executed within the past two years and not previously shown at Hopper House.
Judging Criteria: In celebration of our 40th Anniversary “Year of Edward Hopper,” the theme for this year’s Small Matters show is “Interior/Exterior.” That interplay is frequently represented in Hopper’s art, whether it is physical spaces or psychological states. As Hopper said “Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.” We are looking for work that explores the interior/exterior relationship in an original way, through whatever means of expression you find relevant.
Selections will be made per artist (rather than individual works of art); so all entries should be cohesive and express a discernable creative sensibility specific to that artist. Selections will be made based on interpretation of theme, technique, and originality.
Submissions: Each artist should submit at least three but no more than five entries. Only online entries submitted through www.onlinejuriedshows.com will be accepted. The submission deadline is August 8, 2011.
Please click on Image Prep in the navigation menu to review how to properly size your images. Your images should be 1920pixels @72dpi on the longest side. It should be a JPEG.
