Artist Calls
We’re seeking proposals for two exhibitions at Plains Art Museum. Details:
Art = Food Installation
Propose to create a large-scale, site specific art work on the west walls of PAM’s Cafe Muse. Two to three projects a year will be featured in this unique space. Project proposals should include artist’s resumé with all contact information; a written proposal that describes the artistic medium, subject matter, and use of the space; printed images or CD of past work and work that might be similar to the proposed project. We are not looking for permanent wall paintings or displays of framed two-dimensional work. Temporary projects that have a minimum impact on the wall are requested. Artists will receive a stipend for producing the work, which will be on view for several months at the Museum. If living at some driving distance from Fargo-Moorhead, some travel costs will be covered. NO EMAIL PROPOSALS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Proposal packets can be submitted at any time to:

Big Country: FMVA Scale the Plains
PAM invites artists who are members of Fargo-Moorhead Visual Artists to submit proposals to be considered for an exhibition in summer 2011 in the William and Anna Jane Schlossman Gallery. In honor of our inaugural year of the James Rosenquist work, The North Dakota Mural, we are looking for ambitious art projects that take on large scale in a related way to Rosenquist’s adoption of billboard-sized scale for his paintings. Works can be two- or three-dimensional and in any media. Installation environments or video projections are also invited. Solo or team/collective projects will be accepted. Big Country may include the work of 10-12 artists or collectives, depending on sizes of proposed pieces. Artists will be responsible for producing work and installing and de-installing in partnership with Museum staff.
TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS EXHIBITION, SEND ARTIST RESUMÉ, WRITTEN PROPOSAL WITH IMAGES OF PAST WORK, AND A DRAWING AND DIMENSIONS OF PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF THIS PROJECT BY DECEMBER 1, 2010 TO:
Colleen Sheehy, Director and CEO
Plains Art Museum

Art = Food Installation clarification. Does the subject/theme need to be food related?
Sarah, there is no restriction on theme, although a food-related theme is tempting, isn’t it?
Your call for submissions “Scale the Plains” sounds interesting, but I am not in the Fargo-Moorhead Visual Artists group or area. Can I still submit a proposal about scale?
Richard, the show is limited to FMVA members only, but becoming a member of FMVA is pretty simple. For details, visit their website at http://www.fmva.us. Thank you for your interest!
