Call to Artists

We are looking for artists with an existing body of work as well as those new artists looking for a place to begin their careers.

Your artwork must represent innovation in:

* the toolset used
* the material used
* the styles employed to create the work

Endeavor arts juries artwork on a regular basis with a jury composed of gallery principals and a community Advisory board. If you are interested in becoming a member artist, please deliver the following to the gallery director at submissions@endeavorarts.com:

1. 10-20 images of your artwork. To give yourself the best chance for a successful jurying, choose your pieces as if you were preparing for a solo exhibition. All of the work you submit should demonstrate a consistent and well developed style. Avoid submitting a non-cohesive body of work or work from different periods of your artistic development. All pieces are to be clearly labeled to include: title, medium and retail price.

Explain what makes your artwork innovative. Be sure to provide your name, email address and telephone number.

2. A copy of your resume and/or other items you wish to include (e.g. a short artist’s statement, brochures, reviews…)

3. An example of supporting images, videos or other content that might help connect your artwork to customers.

Note: Images can be submitted by posted CD, high quality online image gallery, or FTP site. If you are unsure of how you can submit work, please contact submissions@endeavorarts.com

ROBOT Art Exhibition. CLOSED.

Submission deadline: July 30 2012.
Exhibition dates Aug 21 – Oct 6 2012

Endeavor Arts is looking for Artists, Engineers, Hybrids, Cyborgs and all-round clever people to
help define the future of Art.

We are looking for submissions in the three following areas:

Robots as art
● including but not limited to:
○ Circuit boards as art (must be a functional circuit design, and aesthetically presentable as art)
○ Kinetic Sculptures
○ Automatons
○ Robotic integrated sculptures

APCircuits has graciously agreed to print out the chosen circuits to help mitigate the artist’s costs.

Art by Robots (or assisted by)
● including but not limited to:
○ Drawing machines
○ Digital art
○ Animations

Art for Robots (we will accept Cyborgs and evolved beings here as well)
● including but not limited to
○ Data visualization as art
○ Re-interpretations of traditional art forms
○ Circuit board designs

This will be a juried show in a commercial gallery, so please consider that some part of your submission must be saleable and present during the exhibition – either the work itself or replications / derivations of the work.

Include your resume, the field or industry you belong to and a short statement on pieces you submit. Submit images to submissions@endeavorarts.com, posted CD or upload to our FTP site (email with request for FTP information).

Your work may be chosen to show offsite at Calgary’s Mini Maker Faire on September 8th, 2012
