Call for Entry

Desotorow Gallery announces a call to artists for “The Meticulous,” an exhibition to be held Jan. 7-Jan. 18, 2011. In the current age of rapid technological advancement, where information can be acquired at the press of a button and everything needs to be done yesterday, The Meticulous celebrates artists whose work is defined by laborious process; art where the working procedure is meticulous, requiring countless hours of unsung commitment. The act of art-making blurs the line between obsession and introspection, and the artists are connected by a collective investment to their work.

The juried exhibition “The Meticulous” is open to national and international artists of all levels. To be considered, an entry form, entry fee, artist statement and digital images of the artwork should be submitted to Desotorow Gallery by 5pm, Dec. 17.
