Manifest Tapped 3 Professors and their Students

TAPPED 3
3rd Annual Exhibit of Works by Professors and their Students (past or present)
Deadline for Entry: November 5, 2012
Submission fee: $10

 

For details and to enter visit: http://www.manifestgallery.org/tapped

Please Note - this is not a call for collaborative works.
TAPPED will feature works made by distinct individuals.

The relationship between art students and their professors can be a powerful one. Even when this bond is left unstated, we carry our professors' voices forward in time as we mature as artists and people. We eventually realize that the instruction given by our teachers during our relatively brief careers as students continues to expand within us. We realize that the learning they inspired (or insisted upon) is a chain-reaction process that develops across our lifetime. All of us who have been students carry forward our professors' legacy in one form or another. And those who are, or have been professors, bear witness to the potency of studenthood.

Out of respect for this student-teacher bond, and in honor of professors working hard to help their students tap into a higher mind relative to art and life, we offer our third annual TAPPED, an exhibit that will present works of art by current or former professor/student pairs in our Main Gallery and Drawing Room in Cincinnati.

It is important to note that this project is open to CURRENT or PAST student/professor pairs. The 'student' half of the pair may be a college freshman, a retired veteran, or at any stage in between. The sole criteria for the pairing is that the relationship between the two was a formal teacher/student one at some point in time.

Submission to this exhibit may be initiated by either party. Students will seek out a professor who has been a key instructor to them or whose work they particularly respect and 'tap' them to participate in this project submission. Or professors may 'tap' their current or former students to participate. Either way, the 'tapping' is intended as a form of honor and invitation. The type, style, media, etc. of the works by each member may be very different. However, it is highly advised that the pairs (or groups) of entrants discuss and consider their mutual entries prior to submission. This is especially important for current students.

We are eager to share the energy and legacy of academic pursuit with our audience. Our society can gain from a deeper appreciation of what is done by and between students and professors.

Eligibility: TAPPED is open to everyone. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works of art or design and each entrant must name one current or former professor or student as an exhibiting companion.

Media: Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media (including video, sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, etc.)

Deadline for Entry: November 5, 2012
For complete details and to enter visit: http://www.manifestgallery.org/tapped

Exchanges Artists Brief

This project is part of TESTBED, an innovative outreach programme run by Suffolk Artlink and funded by Arts Council England Grants for the Arts, designed to ensure that more disadvantaged people engage in excellent, inspirational arts activity.
Exchanges will allow young adult carers the opportunity to select the artist(s) they are most interested in working with, to access facilities at UCS including lecture theatre, dance and drama studios and exhibition spaces and to explore their creative potential by working alongside professional artists and participating in the creation of a high quality arts product.

Artists will be skilled in:
· delivering experiential  tasters and on-going sessions with the group in order to inform their choice of direction
· responding to creativity of young adults
· helping to address the needs of young adult carers to access post-18 education opportunities

There is great scope for the artist(s) in residence to work in a site-specific way, using the changing/ evolving environment of the UCS building and the theme of exchange and it is hoped that residency artist(s) will present a seminar/ practical session (in relation to their work), to be open and of benefit to Atrium Studio art students/ studio members also.
An opportunity for a UCS Student Volunteer Placement, as part of their research/ portfolio, is being considered and an ‘Award’ in the form of a year’s Atrium Studio membership, is being explored as incentive for one young carer to progress further.

Interactive interview

Shortlisted artist applicants will be asked to prepare and facilitate a twenty minute interactive activity for up to 6 young adult carers (18+ years old) and 2 project staff. The presentation should include time for some Q&A and last no longer that thirty  minutes. This is a chance to give the group a taste of your art through exploring with them a key theme or creative process that informs your work. These interviews will take place in the week beginning December 3rd 2012 and the venue is to be confirmed.

Call for Artists’ Proposals
Deadline: 30th November 2012
Application fee: none

Bedford Creative Arts is seeking proposals from artists or artists groups for our first major commission of 2013. Our artistic theme for 2013 is OURS – what we have in common and what makes something our own?

The Central Bedfordshire town of Dunstable and its surrounding area has been chosen as the location for this commission. As well as the artistic themes identified in the artists brief, proposals should respond to the specific identity of this location and the people who live, work and visit there.

We expect participative events and activities for local communities and identified target groups to begin in April 2013. These activities should be integral to the commission and lead to sustained collaborative relationships with participants throughout summer 2013.
This shared artistic process will result in the creation of a new artwork to be revealed in a high profile public presentation in September 2013.

A commission fee of £10,000 is available for the chosen artist or artists group. Additional budgets for travel expenses, materials, resources and the delivery of specific events and activities will be negotiated before the artist is contracted in early 2013.

Deadline for submissions: Friday 30th November 2012, 12 noon GMT
