Calling all Painters, Sculptors, Potters, Print Makers, Photographers, etc.
39th Annual Area Invitational Art Show

The annual M State Area Invitational Art Show is scheduled for Monday, March 1, 2010 through Friday, March 26, 2010. Unless other arrangements are made in advance, entries should be delivered by hand to the Waage Art Center on campus between 8:30 and 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 25 and Friday, February 26.

Artists should pick up their work Saturday, March 27 from 9:00 to 1:00 or Monday, March 29 from 9:00 to 6:00 p.m. unless other arrangements have been made. (PLEASE PLAN TO EXHIBIT YOUR WORK THROUGH MARCH 26 – NO EARLY WITHDRAWALS.) SPECIAL NOTE: Those who pick up art other than their own should come with specific lists and check them off with the college person on duty.

Two entries: original paintings, drawings, sculpture, pottery, photography, and textiles are accepted. No entry fee will be charged, nor will the college take any commission on works sold while on exhibit. All work that requires hanging must be ready to hang. If your work is not for sale, please indicate the estimated value. This figure will not be publicized.

Every reasonable care will be taken in handling all entries, but no responsibility is assumed by Minnesota State Community and Technical College for loss or damage of any kind – however it may be caused.

There will be several Merit Awards and at least one purchase award by M State. You may encourage other serious artists to participate in this show.

For your convenience, a copy of the entry form has been enclosed with this letter. There must be a form for each work. The form is to be submitted at the time the work is delivered but is NOT to be affixed to the work. Each work must have its own identification of your own devising. You may reproduce the enclosed form.

If you have any questions regarding this exhibit, feel free to call or email Tori Covington (218-736-1600 or tori.covington@minnesota.edu) at Minnesota State Community and Technical College between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Looking forward to seeing you and your art work. When you drop-off your work or come to the reception, you may wish to tour our campus and our permanent art collection.

Sincerely,

Warren Olsen
Minnesota State Community and Technical College

P.S. You are invited to join us for an informal reception celebrating the work of all exhibiting artists on Wednesday, March 10, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Charles Beck Gallery.
