Open Call for Submissions International

Spring/ Summer 2011 

MakeSpace ARTS in Pasadena, CA begins its long awaited contemporary exhibition program this summer. MakeSpace focuses on nationally and internationally recognized artist as well as emerging local artists. MakeSpace ARTS will feature exhibitions with traditional and new media art installations. Because MakeSpace ARTS is a project space (rather than a traditional gallery), there are unique opportunities for artist to incorporate workshops, screenings, and seminars into their exhibitions.   

MakeSpace ARTS is seeking submissions for solo and group shows. MakeSpace ARTS will periodically put our calls for specific submission for shows curated in-house. To be considered for a show, artists and curators can download proposal guidelines at www.makespacearts.com . Email us at makespacearts@gmail.com if you have any questions. Please call for an appointment if you would like to see the space. There are limitations due to daily use of the studio; however, we will work with artist to help realize their good ideas.

The CD-ROM or DVD should contain no more than 10 images, formatted at 300 dpi or lower for optimal viewing. If you would like your materials returned to you, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your submission. Please note that MakeSpace ARTS does not accept original work or models, nor can the studio be responsible for any materials that are sent.
• For proposed lectures, screenings, readings and workshops please submit no more than 10 pages of text that you wish to present. 
• Applicants must include a completed "Artist Proposal Guideline Form" to be considered for exhibition. Download and print  the pdf from our website.

MakeSpace ARTS makes every effort to turn around submissions in a timely manner but review may take 6 months or more. If your work is appropriate for a future exhibition, your materials may be retained for consideration.
