The Target Gallery is reaching out to colleges and universities in the surrounding DC metro area to participate in an exhibition benefiting the March of Dimes and the Target Gallery’s outreach programming. This is an excellent show for young artists to participate in because they’re guaranteed an opportunity to exhibit in this nationally recognized art center. The exhibition will be juried for prizes and five awards will be given at the Art Party on March 25. Four jurors will each choose their favorite piece. Then the audience at the Art Party will have an opportunity to select their favorite piece to receive a Best of the Rest Award.
The Target Gallery and the March of Dimes are teaming up to raise money for both organizations with the appropriate title, “March Madness.” March Madness is an exhibition of approximately 200 10x10-inch works of art. Torpedo Factory and DC-area artists, as well as local high school students and college students will create the artwork. It will be on display in the Target Gallery from March 17 – March 27. All work will be for sale for $100 with 10% of all sales being donated to the March of Dimes.
This exhibit is open to all artists with the requirement that the work is created on 10x10-inch wood panels provided by the Target Gallery. The $12 entry fee guarantees entry into the exhibit, one wood panel, a chance for jurors’ awards, and free entry with one drink ticket to the Art Party on March 25. There is a limit of 3 entries per artist.
Deadline for participation is March 7, 2011 by 6pm. Upon receipt of the $12 entry fee, the gallery will provide the artist with a blank wood panel, 10 x10 inches. The artist will need to pick the panel up at the gallery between 10am to 6pm. Completed artwork must be brought back to the gallery between March11-14, from 10am to 6pm, to be included in the exhibit. All artwork must be created on the panels provided by the gallery.
If you have any questions please contact the Target Gallery.
