Call for Prairie Artists

Call for Artists for the 4th Annual Horizontal Grandeur. Inspired by an essay of the same name by Minnesota poet Bill Holm (1943-2009), this fine art exhibition has grown each and every year. Last year we had 93 entries from 11 prairie states for the 50 exhibit spaces in our historic national award winning space. Because of the success, the call has opened up earlier this year. January 15th – April, 23rd, 2010 has been set as the open submission time. That will give our jury more time to judge the pieces and still allow the exhibit to be hung and the exhibit open by July 9th, 2010.

The Call for Artists calendar and terms, with an on-line submission form is located on our website www.stevenshistorymuseum.com. The Horizontal Grandeur page can be reached by clicking on the Horizontal Grandeur link in top tab section or directly at http://www.stevenshistorymuseum.com/grandeur/2010form.php to read more about it or submit images online.

To print out a hardcopy of our call brochure, and mail in the entries with a check or money order, you can download a pdf file at this link: http://www.stevenshistorymuseum.com/Forms/2010Grandeur-call.pdf

If you have never read Bill Holm’s essay, you can download a pdf file of it by visiting http://www.stevenshistorymuseum.com/grandeur/billgrandeur.pdf

All artists who live in a state with a prairie are eligible to submit entries. The pieces must be inspired by the prairie and meet certain size requirements as outlined on our website. Please feel free to forward this email or publish the information or any of the links in your correspondence or organizational periodicals. If you would like a copy of our call poster, email me, and I will forward you the color pdf file.
