Short Description
The Federation of Canadian Artists: Beautiful BC Presented by Nature Trust of BC Exhibition is in collaboration with the Nature Trust of British Columbia. Artists should submit their most breathtaking BC scenery, landscapes, and creatures!
This is an in-gallery exhibition with online representation. Submitting artists, if accepted by the jury, will be required to deliver their artwork to the gallery in Vancouver, BC, Canada for the feature. Artists cannot opt to display online only.
PERMISSIBLE 2D MEDIA: oil, acrylic, water media, pastel, encaustic, pen and ink, pencil, graphite, and hand-pulled prints in print runs of less than 200.
Note: For artists practicing in mixed media, you are required to list all media used, including mediums and gels.
EXCLUDED 2D MEDIA: digital art, photography, giclee (whether hand modified or not), pyrography, and any work that relies heavily on mechanical reproduction.
Submitted artworks must demonstrate concept, manipulation of materials, and evidence of the aesthetic judgment of the creator.
Artwork must be “one-of-a-kind”, meaning that the production techniques expose each work to the possibility of uniqueness, and where the reproduction series is limited to less than 200. All artworks must be finished to an archival standard and last up to a hundred years without a controlled display
environment.
PRESENTATION: Framed and unframed artwork is permitted to this call, so long as the unframed artworks meet the minimum depth requirement (see size).
