CALL FOR ARTISTS – Creamery Art Center – Springfield, MO

The SRAC is pleased to announce The Creamery Arts Center’s August exhibition, “At Play.” The exhibit invites artists to make artwork with an eye toward the bright and spontaneous to say goodbye to summer with a fun, vibrant show. “At Play” will open with a free, public reception on First Friday Art Walk, August 7, 2015 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and will remain on display through Friday, August 28, 2015.

Artists “at play” draw inspiration from music, dance, games, sports, and fun in the sun. They utilize movement, color, and sometimes nostalgia to evoke delight and joy from the viewer. The SRAC encourages artists to create work centered on ideas of summertime, such as biking, dancing, growing, gardening, swimming, cooking, or anything that embodies summer and “play.”

Work must be delivered to The Creamery on Monday or Tuesday, August 3 or 4, 2015 between 9:00am and 5:00pm. There is no limit to the number of pieces an artist may submit. All work must be wired, ready to hang, and no larger than 40 inches in any dimension. Sawtooth hangers are not accepted. Jewelry should be mounted in hanging shadowboxes. Please contact the SRAC before Friday, July 31, 2015 to make display arrangements for three-dimensional pieces.

The SRAC receives a 25% commission on any work sold. Unsold work must be picked up on Monday or Tuesday, July 31 or August 1, 2015 between 9:00am and 5:00pm.
