Art in Motion

Prospectus:

The City of Grants Pass Committee on Public Art (CoPA) invites artists 18 years of age and older to submit original artwork in any 2-D or 3-D media with the exception of video/film, installation or performance art for Art in Motion.

This public art project is essentially a gallery on wheels; artwork is displayed on 54” x 34” vinyl print on the side of one of the Josephine Community Transit buses.  The art is there to engage people, expand public art visibility, create opportunities for the community to experience art in everyday life and enhance the overall artistic climate of the City of Grants Pass.

This prospectus solicits submissions for two exhibition periods.  The first from January through June 2019, and the second from July through December 2019.  The work will be selected based on originality, artistic conception and quality.  An effort will be made to represent a broad diversity of styles, media and disciplines. 

Media Eligibility: All artists working in, but not limited to, the following disciplines are invited to submit images of their work: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital graphics, sculpture, glass, wood, metal/jewelry, ceramics, fiber arts, mixed media, and assemblage.  Video/film, installation art and performance art are not appropriate disciplines for the Art in Motion project.

Submissions:  Artists must submit a minimum of four (4) images to a maximum of six (6) works.  All work submitted must be original, no copy work, no classwork or work done under supervision.

All submissions must include these three (3) items:

1.  A CD or USB thumb drive for four (4) to six (6) images. Label storage devices with your name. (Storage devices will not be returned.)
