Important:
A. Artists may submit up to three works for one entry fee.
B. Works must have been executed within the last two years.
C. Works previously shown at Artel may not be resubmitted.
D. All work must be ready for hanging or presentation and easy to exhibit with clear instructions where necessary. Artel does not provide pedestals or wire. Hanging hardware should be sturdy and of good quality. Pedestals should be appropriate for the work, preferably gray, black or white, clean and freshly painted. Wet paintings will not be accepted.
E. Artists should come prepared with title, media, framed dimensions, and price of each work. See attached form. Please do not make others wait by being unprepared.
F. Keep in mind Artel’s mission of providing a venue for experimental or “edgy” art.
By submitting your work to Artel shows, you are giving us permission to consider using your art in our airport gift shop display window, on our website and in grant applications. If you do not wish your work to be used, you must inform us at drop off.
Guidance: This theme can either be taken literally or metaphorically: transparent lies, transparent motives, etc., or paintings on glass, transparent media, etc.
Juror: Felecia Chizuko Carlisle is a conceptual artist whose work ranges from interactive installations to digital photography and public works. She received her MFA from the New Genres Department at San Francisco Art Institute in 2006 and her BFA from the University of West Florida in 1998. She currently teaches Digital Practice at UWF and shows her work nationally and internationally. A digital portfolio of her work is located at feleciacarlisle.com.
New: Please complete the attached form and bring to the gallery at drop off. |

Note: We make every effort to post as many pieces from each show on the website as soon as possible after each show goes up. Lighting conditions, particularly with pieces behind glass, often make getting good photos in the gallery difficult. If your work is accepted and you would like to make sure your piece is on the website, you can e-mail a digital image to webmaster@artelgallery.org within three days of the show going up.
Guidance: A picture is worth a thousand words; still, we all sometimes need to see words to explain ourselves and our intentions more completely. In this show, we are looking for artists to express themselves verbally as well as visually.
Please submit a piece of artwork — of any style, any medium, any theme — together with something you have written in your own words to accompany the work. Think of the two together as being the submission. The accompanying text can be anything from a paragraph to a few pages. We are not looking for a standard “artist statement,” but rather for what you have to say in connection with the particular piece itself. Tell us something important about it. For example, it might have to do with the ideas behind the work, its inspiration, decisions you made during the creation of the piece, what inspired your title for the work, any metaphors that the piece may bring to mind or anything else that you want to say about the piece.
The jurors will judge the text as well as the visual artwork, giving weight to each and to how they illuminate each other. Your written words may be integrated into your artwork in some way but must also be submitted separately in order to be placed in a binder available in the gallery through the duration of the show.
As the jurying process for this show will require extra time to read through the submissions, the drop off deadline for the project will be Saturday, July 26. Acceptances will be notified by the evening of Sunday, July 27.
The jurors will give additional guidance for this show, as well as specific examples during Artel’s Art Explorations lecture, “Artspeak: The Contemporary Artist meets Web 3.0”, on June 17, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. An announcement for this event will be mailed separately.
Jurors: Pat Hayes is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in Pensacola, and Margaret Warren is the founder/owner of CARMA (Cyber Arts, Research Music and Audio) Productions. Pat and Margaret are both award-winning local artists who work as technologists. They are currently collaborating on a research project whose goal is to take the language of artists and use it in the construction of tools for the internet to make image search, retrieval and archiving better. This project has been described in invited presentations at scientific conferences in Costa Rica and at Duke University.
This program funded, in part, by Escambia County, the City of Pensacola, and by donors to the United Arts Funds of the Arts Council of Northwest Florida, and by the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
