Call For Artwork

Call for Proposals: Water Exhibit

The Dalton Gallery of Agnes Scott College seeks to review the work of artists who are in dialogue with current environmental concerns, with a focus on water. Ideas could reference sustainability, drought and flood and global climate change. Also of interest are new ways of looking at water and: culture, history, food, religion, gender, race, economics, technology, architecture, health, and more.  The gallery will present an exhibition running the gamut of these issues late January through early March 2009.

• All media will be considered, including visual arts, music, performance and writing (fiction/non-fiction). Outdoor, site-specific work is encouraged.
• Submission packets must include a proposal, artist statement, c.v. and a budget if necessary. Visual artists must include images (CD only) and a detailed image list. Artists working in other media should showcase their work as they see fit.
• Snail mail proposals to: The Dalton Gallery, Agnes Scott College, 141 E. College Ave, Decatur, GA 30030.
• Review is ongoing. EARLY DELIVERY IS ENCOURAGED. Proposal packets will be accepted through April 8.
