Call to Artists: Art Bank 2013

Call to Artists: Art Bank 2013 

The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities is seeking to purchase two and three-dimensional works of art including prints, drawings, mixed media compositions, paintings, photographs, ceramics, and moveable sculptures. To expand the District's collection further into new media forms of contemporary art, we strongly encourage video artists and other technological innovators to submit as well. Submission of works in series is strongly encouraged. Representational, conceptual, and abstract works will be equally considered.

Each artist is allowed to submit up to 10 images for consideration and all artwork submitted must be available for purchase and review upon submission (see calendar for dates). Artwork must be created with archival materials and be no larger in size than 96" in any direction. In addition to images of prospective artwork, a completed application must include:

• An Artist Statement
• A current CV or Resume
• An Image List, declaring the retail price of each piece of artwork listed
