The post Death: Call for Art appeared first on North Central Washington Arts Alliance.

Wabi-Sabi: Unexpected Beauty is an exhibition exploring the simple appeal found in imperfection, incompleteness, and impermanence. Inspired by the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of wabi-sabi, this exhibition will showcase art that reflects the passage of time, transformation, or growth and evolution. Unexpected Beauty will also celebrate art inspired by weathered or irregular forms and materials and handmade art that reveals the artist’s imprint. Artists are encouraged to submit work that broadens the concept of beauty, revealing it through subtlety and simplicity, worn surfaces, or evidence of time and use. Art should reflect a commitment to authenticity. All media will be considered, including sculpture, painting, photography, ceramics, fiber arts, and mixed-media.

Curators: Ed McCarthy and Marcy Stamper

Here are the rules.

Number of pieces to submit: up to 4

Each piece must be:
Your own original work.
Available for sale.
Created in the last 3 years.
Never previously been shown in Okanogan County.
Any size.
Any medium.

Ready for hanging with appropriate hardware/wire secured to work (works without hanging hardware or not professionally presented will not be hung. No dented or scratched frames unless that is part of the work)

Please Note: The curator(s) have the right to refuse work, even after work is delivered to the gallery, if it does not contribute to the direction, cohesiveness, or available space of the show. We are looking for high-quality execution and thoughtful content that contribute to the vision of the show as stated above.

The post Visual Arts at the Symphony appeared first on North Central Washington Arts Alliance.

The park features a dog off-leash area, skate park, picnic shelter, and children’s play equipment. The design should take into consideration ease of maintenance and resistance to vandalism. A laser-cut, powder-coated steel image is desirable to reduce the amount of surface area available for tagging and areas where a person may be concealed. The art panel is planned to measure sixteen feet wide and four feet high and would be anchored onto a concrete curb. Full details are available on the City of Wenatchee website:  https://www.wenatcheewa.gov/services/bid-opportunities.

PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE:
The following is the preliminary schedule for the project and is subject to change. Changes to the final installation deadline will be at the mutual agreement of the artist and the City of Wenatchee and may be subject to change. The ideal completion would be prior to March 30, 2027.
