prospectus for a juried outdoor sculpture exhibit on the central campus of Georgia Perimeter College

calendar 

1.  no entry fee, no commissions — entries can be submitted by mail or e-mail to the address listed below.  Slides or digital image files on a CD or emailed are all acceptable if sent with a completely filled-out, signed/dated entry form.  Please provide SASE for return of slides/CD.

2.  entered work will be juried/curated from both photographic images and live viewings, with the jurying/curating process and acceptances occurring during the final months of 2009 through January 12, 2010

3.  due to space considerations, accepted submissions will be limited to one sculpture or installation per artist with no more than twenty sculptors accepted in total.

4.  work must be able to be installed on the grounds of the campus in specified existing sites with minimal impact upon the existing landscape (SEE MAP), and the site must be restored by the artist to it’s original state at the close of the exhibit

5.  work must be installed in the week prior to the opening (January 17-24) and removed in the week following the closing of the exhibit (March 6-13).  Note that Friday is the lightest traffic of all the weekdays on campus, and because of heavy traffic/maximum-use of both those student and faculty parking lots with highest proximity to class buildings it is recommended that the installation and take-down of the works be done on the weekends if at all possible.  Accepted artists are responsible for their own installation and take-down of the works.

6.  work must remain for the duration of the exhibit period

7.  work shall be non-hazardous for viewers and able to withstand the effects of exposure to the weather for the six week duration of the exhibit

8.  sculptor’s choice of installation in specific available sites will be on a first-come, first serve basis in discussion with officials

10. the work will be installed at the sculptor’s risk — as the work will be installed in public space there will be no insurance coverage, though it should be noted that campus security does make regular patrols day and night.
