SCAD deFine Art Festival Call for Entries!!!

NEW SCAD FINE ARTS EVENT!!!
DEADLINE IS THURSDAY OCTOBER 29TH!!! SEND ENTRIES ASAP!

The Exhibitions Department in collaboration with Steve Bliss, Dean of Fine Arts, is issuing a call for entries to be considered for juried exhibitions featuring fresh, innovative and exceptional student, faculty and alumni work from SCAD's Fine Art Departments. These exhibitions will be held at the River Club and in Alexander Hall during the rapidly approaching deFINE ART festival (Nov. 10 - 14, 2009).

The mission of deFINE ART is to establish a fall festival highlighting the School of Fine Arts on par with the annual spring SCADstyle festival. These exhibitions are intended to complement the festival's programming with Open Studios and related events to be held on Saturday, November 14, 2009 as the festival anchor.

We need your help to make this show the best it can be- Apologies for the fast turnaround request BUT this festival will bring a broad range of noted art professionals to Savannah and each of these professionals will be toured through these exhibitions (list of confirmed participants attached below). This is your opportunity to represent the achievements and outstanding caliber of SCAD’s Fine Art Departments. The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, 2009. No late submissions will be considered.

To submit work for consideration please email completed entries to Senior Curator Melissa Messina via mmessina@scad.edu using deFINE ART 2009 in the subject line (incomplete submissions will not be considered). Submission should include:

• up to 4 image(s) of a major individual work (showing the whole, and details as necessary). Or you may submit a small series of completed works (4 or less, with framing shown, if applicable). These should be sent as JPEG files, not to exceed 1 MB in total.

• a Word document including full contact information (name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number) with a checklist of works submitted which must include full credit information (title of work, year, medium, dimensions, artist price). Please note that for faculty, alumni and staff, artist price is marked up 50%, it is 30% for matriculated students. If you have a current resume or CV, that may also be attached.
