Call
For Artists
Color Me Cleveland
The
Artists Archives of the Western Reserve, a nonprofit visual arts organization
dedicated to preserving the art and art history of Ohio and its artists,
invites all interested local artists to participate this summer in our 2010
fundraising event, Color Me Cleveland. Scheduled to take place starting
Saturday, August 7, 2010, it will be a city-wide festival of plein-aire art,
the third of its kind in an annual fundraising series held by the AAWR. Select
artists will be arranged throughout various parks and public spaces to produce
art while the public looks on. This event celebrates both local artists and
Cleveland!
You
are invited to paint, sculpt, draw, photograph, and otherwise perform on the
Plein-aire Days of Saturday, August 7, 2010, and Sunday, August 8, 2010. Following
these two days of creating, artists will then bring their work to the AAWR
gallery space “wet” to be installed for a week long exhibition, culminating in
a live auction on Saturday, August 21, 2010. We request that work be no larger
than 40 inches.
To
support AAWR’s mission of preserving the works of Ohio artists and our region’s
visual artistic heritage, the Archives will receive a portion of the proceeds
from all sales. Participating in this event is a great opportunity to show
case your work and become further involved in the Cleveland community. To
thank you for your participation, the AAWR will be offering benefits which
include:
§ The
opportunity to exhibit and sell artwork
§ Invitations
to special events, gallery talks, and exhibition openings

discount on selected merchandise and discounts on workshops, lectures, and demonstrations
