::: ARTIST CALL - HOW DO YOU MONET? ::: (proposals due January 28 @ 1:00 p.m.) Application Link: https://forms.gle/pQ4wwojqnJ62ofqk7 Claude Monet was part of a group of artists known as the Rejects because they bucked the artistic norms of their time. Now his work is seen as classical museum art, but then he was revolutionary in how he approached painting, exploring his environment through light, texture, and emotion translated through brushstrokes. Monet was "enthusiastically run down by every critic of the period." We are seeking a select group of South Sound-based visual artists to commission new works of art in response to the prompt... How do you "Monet"? Your personal interpretation of Monet's style, approach, and/or impact; calling on his use of light, texture, and landscape. Timeline * January 28, 2024 @ 1:00 p.m.- Application process closes * February 5, 2024 - Artist selections announced * March 1, 2024 - Final pieces must be ready for photography and print production * March 14-22, 2024 - Sometime in this window, pieces go on display in the Imagine Monet post-experience space The minimum size of proposed pieces must be 20" x 24" - with no maximum and a preferred size ratio of 13:19, to ensure the best quality for reproducing prints. There is no requirement for type of medium. The selected artists will each receive an honorarium of $1,000, in addition to a $200 supply stipend. Tacoma Arts Live will make a limited run of prints of each piece to be numbered and signed by the artist and sold in the Imagine Monet gift shop. 75% of the net profits from print sales will go directly to the artist. At the close of the show, Tacoma Arts Live will retain the original artwork, and the artist will receive the digital file of the piece to reproduce and sell at their discretion. Completed application proposals are due by January 28th , 2024 at 1:00 p.m., and will be reviewed by a community panel of local artists and entrepreneurs from Tacoma Arts Live's small business incubator: ACE, Accelerating Creative Enterprise.
