Project for the Arts is pleased to announce a call for 8" x 8" works on
paper by WPA Member Artists to be on view and for sale as part of WPA's
Hothouse series during the (e)merge art fair.
Work will be exhibited in the Capitol Skyline Hotel Lounge from
September 27 - October 27, 2013. All current WPA members are invited to
submit one 8" x 8" work on paper. Work submitted MUST be
8" x 8" and must be delivered without a mat or frame. If a member
artist wishes to submit a work that is smaller than 8" x 8", it must be
submitted mounted to an 8" x 8" sheet of paper. WORK THAT IS LARGER THAN 8" X 8" WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Work
will be installed on the wall using removable adhesive mounting
squares. When not displayed on the wall, work will be stored in acid
free, archival sleeves and must fit into one of these sleeves. For heavy works or works on especially delicate or unusual paper, artists must provide an appropriate display mechanism.
These could include adhesive squares or a display hook or gator clip
attached to the back of the work. If you have any questions regarding
this requirement, please contact Blair Murphy, Program Director, at
202-234-7103 x 1 or bmurphy@wpadc.org.
