The UAG Biannual Banner Project-Re:Visioning the West

Deadline: April 18, 2015 Fee (USD): $20.00

The NMSU University Art Gallery invites artists of all levels, ages, and locations to submit digital files of original works in consideration for our UAG Biannual Banner Project. In conjunction with the exhibition opening of “Re:Visioning the West,” the theme of this Banner Project asks artists to create pieces inspired by the re-examination of the cliché and nostalgic Old West in order to see it in a fresh light. The project’s objective is to create an outdoor gallery experience, which echoes the exhibition within the UAG. All media are welcome, with no limitation on specific artistic tools or techniques. Marisa Sage, Curator of “Re:Visioning the West” and Director of the UAG, the UAG Exhibition Review Board, and Julia Barello, Academic Department Head of the NMSU Art Department – will all choose up to 6 artists whose works will be reproduced on to high-quality outdoor banners and hung on the banner systems installed on the outer walls of D.W. Williams Hall. This is an exciting opportunity to have thousands of viewers see your works as they drive off interstate 10 or 25 down University Avenue past the campus of New Mexico State University. A reception for the selected artist will be held in conjunction with the opening of “Re:Visioning of the West” on May 21, 2015, from 5 p.m-7 p.m. The banners will be exhibited from May 21 – August 22, 2015.
