[DowntownArtists] DowntownArtists Digest, Vol 45, Issue 3

When you say art should be 8 1/2 ft square.  do you mean 8.5 x 8.5 ft? (Not inches?) 8.5 ft square is approximately 2.92 ft x 2.92 ft.

Hello DAP Artists,

Description:
The Downtown Artist Project is calling for Artists to submit images of  
art work to be considered for display in Pershing Square's Art Squared  
outdoor gallery. http://www.laparks.org/pershingsquare/art.html
There will be 6 images selected by DAP for each  of the 3 shows this  
year, July, September and November. All submissions will also be put  
on file for other DAP shows and for next year's Art Squared shows.

Two options for artwork to be displayed: vinyl print or original  
artwork. All work must be square in format. (no letter boxing or  
diagonal squares) All original work must be 8 1/2 ft. square.  
Painting, photography, flat sculpture, digital art are all acceptable.  
Their will be a place to display the artists' photos, statements,  
bios. and contact information in public view. If you want to create  
something specifically for the showing in the square, send examples or  
similar work, drawings or mockups of your idea.

Terms:
Submission fee is $30.00 for 3 images. All proceeds go toward the cost  
of producing the shows.
Jpegs only, no larger than 5 MB, labeled with artist's name and image  
number 1-3 (ie: joe_smith_2.jpg)
The Gallery is on public property, so we can not show anything  
political, sexual or controversial.

Art selection is based on artistic merit and stylistic diversity.  
Artists living in Los Angeles will be given special consideration.  
Selected artists will be asked to provide a high resolution digital  
image file for printing.
DAP will take care of printing expenses. DAP Maintains ownership of  
prints and can sell them to defray printing cost. The artists keep  
copyrights to their images.  Original art is displayed at the artist's  
risk and is returned to the artist.

How to Enter:
LaxArtscene.com has a new Artist Call feature that we are using. Most  
of you are already members transfered from the Downtown Artist Guide  
site. Go to http://laxartscene.com and login. Then go to Art Calls  
under the Resources Menu. I can give you a new password if you forgot  
yours.  If you are not a member, it is free to join.

While you are at http://laxartscene.com, update your profile and  
portfolio or just take a look around and give us feedback.
If you want to use the Artist Call feature for your own purposes, it  
will soon be available to our subscribers.

Good Luck!
