MixTape with Dj's Lynn K and Robbo, is teaming with the Personality of Cult art exhibitions to organize an art show featuring works by Tulsa area artists that pay homage to their favorite songs.
The show is slated to open December 4, 2009 at the Eclipse (6th & Peoria) with an opening reception/dance party featuring the songs that inspired the art works.
ELIGIBILITY
Open to the public. No finished work is required at the time of entry form being turned in. However, for planning purposes, we would like to see a prep sketch of your piece in advance of completion of your art work.
REQUIREMENTS
Work must be inspired any song, preferably one that, in the words of the immortal Dick Clark, has a good beat and you can dance to it, as the song you choose will be featured in the dance party included with the opening gala.
The theme of your work must be to demonstrate what this song means to you personally. Draw from your own memories of this song, interpret the lyrics in your own style, and create art that conveys a unique perspective.
Entrants are free to use any medium they wish, provided that the finished piece meets the size requirements listed below, and that the piece is able to hang on the wall, preferably with wire on the back of the piece.
We wish to have as much variety as we can, and to that end, you will be given a choice of two songs to base your artwork on. On the form below, please indicate a primary and secondary choice. The secondary choice is in the case of another artist having already chosen your primary choice. In such an event, we will consult with both artists to reach an agreement as to who lays claim to the subject.
SIZE OF ARTWORK
In keeping with the music theme, all pieces MUST be 12 inches by 12 inches, the standard size of a traditional vinyl album cover. This size must include any framing and matting.
DEADLINE FOR ENTRY FORMS
Entry form must be received by SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 2009. If your entry form has not been responded to by at least two days of delivery, please re-submit or call the contact number listed at the bottom. All forthcoming information regarding the opening of the show, will be shared with all entrants as they are available.
