A Call for Artists for an exhibit curated by the San Diego Mesa College Museum Studies class under the supervision of Professor Moctezuma.
Artwork will be on display outdoors in the college Parking Lot 1 by the Marlesta entrance to the campus and in front of the Art Gallery/Fine Arts building. Provide an image proposal to be either painted or printed on banner material provided by the Mesa College Gallery. The banner size is 36” x 60” (3 feet by 5 feet) and will be hung vertically or horizontally. Banners can be painted, mixed media, or you can submit a photo or digital image and the Gallery will print it.
Another option is to propose a sculpture that would be self-standing without requirements of attachments and secure. Other type of installations such as yarn, can be proposed if they can be ready to install and are dropped off. (No artists will be allowed to be on campus to install work.)
Disclaimer: Sculptures and artwork will be exposed to elements. The campus is safe but we can’t guarantee that artwork won’t be tampered with or taken. Think of these artwork as temporary and ephemeral. Our insurance will not cover these artworks because they are not being shown in the secure gallery. But ideally our plan is to return the work to the artist at the end of the exhibit.
Also, because of the current Covid-19 situation, this exhibition could be cancelled at any time. If it’s cancelled we will work with class to create a virtual gallery website.
