'Art Decko' Call For Artists Deadline Wednesday, November 1

ACAC

Time is running out of artists wanting to submit proposals for the Athens Cultural Affairs Commission’s or ACAC ‘Art Decko’ project. Eight artists are needed to create original paintings on 4’ by 8’ wood panels. Panels will be provided, and the selected artists will be compensated. Those panels will be hung indefinitely in the stairwell of the College Avenue parking deck.

The first installment was launched over a decade ago and featured work by art classes at local schools. Those panels are now being donated back to the participating schools.

The project is a collaboration between the ACAC, the Athens Downtown Development Authority and the Athens Area Arts Council. Artists living in Clarke, or surrounding counties can apply. All themes and styles will be considered, and applicants may submit as many design ideas as they wish. Interested artists MUST complete the proposal form and design template available at athensarts.org/art-decko-call-for-art.

Deadline to Submit Proposals: November 1st, 2017

Decision Notifications: December 1st, 2017

Project Deadline: Finished panels due March 15th, 2018
