CLE issues Call for Artists for Temporary Art Exhibit

The Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) Temporary Art Exhibition Program announces a “call for artists” for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled, “Women in Uniform,” running from February 1, 2012 through April 30, 2012. The deadline for artist submissions is Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 4:00 p.m.

A uniform is a distinctive form of attire worn to communicate the particularity of a group, as well as the specific role of an individual within a network. In honor of Women's History Month, this exhibition considers the past, present and future of uniforms worn by women.

CLE is currently accepting proposals for artwork from artists working in any two-dimensional medium (paintings, oils, acrylics, watercolors, photography and drawings) depicting images of women wearing uniforms. Military, nursing, police, airlines, etc. are eligible.

Selected exhibitors’ art pieces will be on display in Concourse A, ticketing level, and various other areas throughout the terminal where nearly 30,000 passengers will view them daily. The temporary exhibits change quarterly. 

According to Smith, “The Temporary Art Exhibition Program is a free initiative available to all artists in the Cleveland Plus region. The airport wants to showcase the diverse arts and culture of the region.” 

The CLE Temporary Art Exhibition Program requirements must include the following:

• Completed and signed CLE Temporary Art Exhibit Program application
• One CD with digital photos of full exhibit (please include name and exhibit title)
• Identify the theme of your submission
• A brief written statement explaining how the submission correlates to the theme
• A self-addressed stamped envelope if artist would like submission returned
• Any images containing models must be accompanied by a photographic consent/model release form

Artists submitting proposals for the CLE Temporary Art Exhibition Program will be judged on:

• Capturing the vision of the theme
• Cultural, educational, and/or artistic merit
• Originality, imagination, and presentation of content
• Feasibility of proposal.

Proposals, whether mailed or hand delivered, must be received no later than Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. No postmarks will be accepted.
