Call for Bisexual Artists
By Kuono • Apr 15th, 2009 • Category: BlogOne of the artists in connection with the gallery exhibits that run in our Polk Street Good Vibrations is involved in a project calling for Bisexual Artists. We thought we’d pass this along — please feel free to repost and spread the word!
I am a graduate student in the Sexuality Studies program at San Francisco State University, and for my Master’s project I am organizing an art showing to promote bisexual visibility. I am seeking artists who identify as Bisexual (or with a label inclusive of bisexuality, such as Pansexual, Omnisexual, Ambisexual or Queer), to submit paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, or sculptures relating to their experiences of living as a bisexual person. This project is an opportunity for artists to represent what being bisexual means to them and to help promote the wide variety of people who are bisexual. Artists selected for the exhibition will have their work on display in the art gallery at the Good Vibrations on Polk Street from October 8 to November 26, 2009. There will be a formal opening for the event at the beginning of the exhibition.
Deadline for submissions is August 1, 2009.
To submit your work, please send an email to BiArtSF (at) Gmail (dot) com. Your email should include:
- A digital photograph of the work, and the title of the work.
- The work’s dimensions. Hangable works will be limited to 8′ in height and 6′ in length. Sculptures will be limited to a base of 2′ by 2′, with a height no greater than 8′. Works may be either pre-existing work or work created specifically for the event.
- A paragraph description of the content of the work (no more than 500 words).
- Your name, email and phone number. Selected artists will not be notified until after the submission deadline on August 1.
- Please specify if digital photographs of your work can be used in promotional materials and other publicity for the event.
All artists must be available during August or September 2009 to discuss their work with myself so that I can design captions for your work and exhibition programs. All artists must also be able to transport their work to and from the venue. Paintings, drawings, photographs and prints must be delivered in hangable condition.
If you have any questions about the project, please email me at BiArtSF (at) Gmail (dot) com. Thanks for your interest in my project, I look forward to seeing your submissions!
